Re: Open printing to PDF bug?

[Dar Scott]

Bug reports should be crisp and address a particular bug.  One can  
add details to a existing bug report or suggest changes in parts.   
Additional reports for the same bug should not be made.  Often  
though, it is only after the fact that it is clear that two bugs are  
the same.  Fortunately, it is possible for the bug wranglers to mark  
a bug as a duplicate of another.


I think there are changes coming in the reporting of bugs, so that  
may not exactly apply.

A workaround might be to take a picture of the region, put that on  
another card, rotate that, and print from that card.  -- Dar

William,

I tried this:

on mouseUp
reset printing
set the printPaperSize to 595,842
set the printPaperOrientation to "landscape"
set the printmargins to 72,36,0,0
set the printscale to 1.1
open printing to pdf "test.pdf"
-- add error check here
print this card from 193,90 to 833,570
-- add error check here
close printing
end mouseUp

And I get the right part of my images, rectangles and fields cut off. It
cuts off at the unrotated paper width.


This works for me:

  set the printpapersize to "595,842"
  set the printPaperOrientation to "landscape"
  set the printmargins to 18,18,18,18
  set the printScale to 0.85
  open printing to pdf "test.pdf"
  print this card from the topleft of fld 1 to the bottomright of fld 1
  close printing

I got the cutoff until I scaled the printout down to 0.85; this likely 
needs to be adjusted for each layout. The printmargins will also play a 
role in how much it needs to be scaled. If the scaling is too large, 
then it prints right off the edge of the page.


If William's original intention is to make the text larger for the 
printout, then probably I'd increase the textsize of the field before 
printing, then change it back afterward.

It looks like it scaled right, but it has the cutoff.

I tried setting the rotated paper size after setting orientation, but  
it is the same.  I think with some other fiddling, parts showed up  
but not all.


I'm not an expert at all the printing parameters, but it seems to me  
you are right.  It seems there is a bug.  Maybe somebody with more  
printing experience can say.

Re: Open printing to PDF bug?

[Dar Scott]

I set parameters for the entire print batch before "open printing to  
pdf".  Am I doing that wrong?


Try setting up for A4:
   set the printPaperSize to "595,842"

Try printPaperOrientation instead of printRotated.

If those don't work, try putting margins and printscale before the  
batch.


I'm guessing.  Mine works but I'm not using landscape.  And I use  
full-page printing.

Re: Open printing to PDF bug?

[JosepM]

Hi folks,

My tests...

put "595,842" into thePaperSize
put "20" into theMargin

-- get the page area:
set the printMargins to theMargin,theMargin,theMargin,theMargin
put theMargin,theMargin, item 1 of thePaperSize - theMargin, item 2 of
thePaperSize - theMargin into destinationRect
-- print into that rectangle:
open printing to pdf "/Users/joss/Desktop/card_test.pdf"
print this card into destinationRect
close printing

With "20" into the margin is the best aproximation, some graphics inside are
a little small, so I print for a card game, and I need that the card have
the exact size. If I down the margin I get the real size but the bottom is
cutted.

Any idea?

Salut,
Josep

Hi Jacqueline,

Thanks for your reaction.
I just tested with an image and the same thing happens.
I never set formatForPrinting.

Anyone else?

One thing I just found out is that PDF printing will cut off text and 
ruin the layout if you have formatForPrinting set to true on Windows. It 
is the one time you do not want to use that property for printing text.

Re: PDF reading window

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Andre,

Yes, you need either QuickTime on Mac OS X or the revBrowser plug-in and a PDF 
browser plug-in.

I unable to display a PDF in a QT player on Windows when I tried this a long 
time ago. It might have changed in the mean time, but I don't expect it, 
because QT uses Mac OS X-specific API's to do this.

Thanks Mark.
Thus, in any case, an external plugin is required...
If QT is installed on Windows, displaying in a QT player is not possible?

Well, this is a sort of off-handed reply, but:

if revBrowser can display webpages,

and most web-browsers can display PDFs .

Andre,

On Mac OS X, you can "play" a PDF file in a QuickTime player.

On all platforms, you can display PDF files in the browser, but a PDF browser 
plugin maybe be required.

Re: PDF import?

[Josh Mellicker]

We used Automator on Mac to convert to JPEG, then stored the images on a card 
in the stack.

I will find some non-copyrighted content so I can show you.

Re: PDF import?

[William Roger Moseid]

Regarding diplaying PDF file in Rev:

On Win, using the Rev Browser Demo, I entered the following string into the 
browser address field:
file:///Users/williammoseid/Documents/About%20Stacks.pdf

This 1 page pdf was displayed in the browser with all scroll, etc. controls 
visable and working

Then entered this string into the browser address field:
file:///Userswilliammoseid/Documents/Amazing%20FusionCharts%201.pdf

This 36 page  pdf displayed in the browser with all scroll, etc. controls 
visable and working
the swf file located on page 3, ran perfectly.

On Mac, using the Rev Browser Demo, entered the following string into the 
browser address field:
file:///Users/williammoseid/Documents/About%20Stacks.pdf

The 1 page pdf was displayed in the browser with all scroll, etc. controls 
visable and working

Then entered this string into the browser address field:
file:///Userswilliammoseid/Documents/Amazing%20FusionCharts%201.pdf

The 36 page pdf displayed in the browser with all scroll, etc. controls were 
visable and working
inculding a swf file located on page 3 which sort of ran. This swf takes about 
10 seconds to run.
By clicking in the page margin after 10 seconds I could see the rendered swf. 
By clicking
in the page margin, every few seconds or so, a portion of the rendering 
appeared until after
a number of mouse clicks the rendered swf appeared. However mouse over various 
buttons
in the rendered swf would not show the "ToolTips" compared to the Win Rev 
Browser Demo
where the swf rendered as expected and all buttons which had "ToolTips" 
displayed perfectly
as well as the "Replay" button would rerender the swf.

The Mac issue is as Jacqueline reported earlier "I can reproduce that. It seems 
to be a focus issue."
This has been reported as Bug 8740.

So the Rev Browser Demo appears to provide one way to "show" pdfs in Rev

Hi Peter,

Not really. We are probably doing the things that "other" apps do - we just
don't see it. Similarly, we can't do things like play audio from a variable
- not sure why but it may be that there always has to be some kind of file
to be a buffer for the audio to stream properly without glitches.

You should check out , if you haven't already,   the tempName



it's a prefab unique name provided for this purpose. It's an address that is
deep within libraries and will be automatically purged at some point in the
future.

You can use temporary files to store intermediate data, downloaded URLs, and
other material that is more conveniently placed in a file but does not need
to be saved permanently.
*
**Using the **tempName** function does not create the file, only gets a
suggested file name. Use the open file command to create the file.*
*
**The file name returned by the **tempName** function is one that doesn't
exist, so you can use it safely. If you need to create another file, use
the **tempName** function again to obtain a new file name.*
*
*The location of the temporary files depends on the operating system. Each
operating system provides its own location for temporary files.

Re: PDF import?

[Peter Brigham MD]

What I want to do is to import a PDF image into a stack as a  
customprop. I anticipate using this for sensitive documents that will  
need to be contained within a password-protected stack, and I don't  
want the files themselves left on the user's disk drive. It looks as  
if I'll have to store the PDF binary file as a customprop then delete  
the file, and then when the user wants to access the stored file spit  
the PDF out to disk on demand for viewing and printing using Preview,  
then delete the file from disk when done. Is there any other way? Can  
I print an image from a player control? Or even better, is there a Rev  
external that will convert PDF files to an importable image?

It's not age, just experience.   :)

You're absolutely right, there is one way to display PDFs in Rev and  
it's very limited: on OS X only you can display PDFs inside of a  
player control.  This does not work on Windows or Linux, and as you  
can imagine has a limited UI (you can't select text, for example,  
and the page is rendered scaled within the player without scrollbars  
of its own, so you'll need to put it in a group of you bother with  
it at all).

It's not age, just experience.   :)

You're absolutely right, there is one way to display PDFs in Rev and 
it's very limited: on OS X only you can display PDFs inside of a player 
control.  This does not work on Windows or Linux, and as you can imagine 
has a limited UI (you can't select text, for example, and the page is 
rendered scaled within the player without scrollbars of its own, so 
you'll need to put it in a group of you bother with it at all).

Try this:

   ask file "Save printout as:" with "Print.pdf"
   put it into tFileName
   if tFileName is empty then exit to top

   set the printerOutput to "file:" & tFileName

   revShowPrintDialog false, false
   revPrintField the long name of fld "TTEXT"
end mouseUp

If you do:

Then you will get the print dialog and be able to use OS X's standard

There are 2 ways to do this. If you have revEnterprise, you can use
the new "open printing to pdf" command which allows lots of extras
like setting author, title, keywords etc, as well as including links
and anchor to allow hyper-linking within the pdf.
If you don't have revEnterprise, or you don't need those features,
then you can set the printerOutput before printing. If you set this to
print to a file, then you will get a pdf on Mac and an XPS file on
Windows.

HTH,

You could try setting the 'printTitle' global property before calling

PDF doc name with revPrintText corrupted?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

I am using revPrintText with Rev 3.5 on Win to print a fields text. When
selecting a printer everything is fine. When selecting a pdf-printer Rev
creates a pdf doc name from my stack title. My stack title has german
Umlaute and they get changed to weired signs in the pdf doc name, as if
there there is a problem with the Unicode or something like this. I tried to
use the revPrintText parameter "header text" in the hope rev would take that
header text as the doc name, but no effect.

Does anybody knows, if I can change the doc name when printing to pdf or to
change the charset or any other idea?

I know that there is the new pdf printing in 4.5, but I have to fix it in
3.5 with old style.

Thanks

Tiemo

Jerry,

In your original post you had a link back to you 12Jan10 Blog. In the body
were 3 links, Quickstart and Keyboard shortcuts (Win and Mac). I didn't try
the other two, but he Quickstart one failed and still fails.

Fortunately your suggested alternative links work fine.

Kay,

Go to http://reveditor.com and click on the Quickstart link on the  
right side of the page. I don't know what link you are using, but I  
did have to change the URL once last week. Your page may need  
refreshing.


You can also go to the docs from the help menu in the latest tRev.

OK, that's even weirder.

Prior to hitting the Send button my reply had nothing in it about:

Enter your Apple ID and password to view this document.

Yet another line that just magically appeared.

Weird.

So, just to clarify. I followed the link in your email to your blog page.
>From there I followed the Quickstart link to the iWork.com page. At that
point I got a simple webpage that stated (and this time I'll type it
myself):

Document doesn't exist.
The document your requested doesn't exist or is no longer active.

There were no buttons, no login prompts (I do have an Apple ID), nothing but
simple text and an apple logo at the bottom.

This was in Firefox. I just tried in Safari and it's basically the same,
although Safari had the waterwheel cursor (the one you get on intial startup
or shutdown) for about 5 seconds, under the Document doesn't exist line
before coming up with the last line about no longer active.

Re: View and print a PDF file from Rev

[Josh Mellicker]

Just FYI, the Acrobat Developer FAQ  says:

How Can I Display a PDF File in an External Application Window?

There are several ways to have the Acrobat program display a PDF file in an 
external application’s window. Acrobat must be installed on the system to view 
a PDF file in your own application’s window.

Windows and Macintosh:

●   The ExternalWindow sample plug-in demonstrates a live view of the PDF 
file in a window created by the plug-in. You can extend this to display PDF 
files in an external application window.


So, it looks like an extension could be created that would allow for PDF 
display in Revolution.

Hi all,

I agree that the new online docs are very useful, especially as all 
my 
IDE dictionaries in 3.0, 3.5, have become corrupted since I mixed

from different versions  and opened them in 4.0 beta.


Actually, it isn't the dictionaries that are corrupted, it's your 
preferences file. Deleting that fixes the dictionary, but you have to 
delete it every time you launch a different version of Rev. The better 
solution is to install the latest 4.0. It fixes the problem permanently.

Re-4: PDF version of dictionary?

[runrev260805]

Yes, i know. But this was as a reply to Stephan Barncard´s
' I don´t see a pdf offered anyway.'


Even this 3.0 dictionary is a great source of information.

And although i am working with V4.0 now, i am using my
printed Dictionary version 3 very often.

Thanks, but almost all the work was done a long time ago when I helped 
with the MC Dictionary which was a group effort. All I did today was 
write the little handler I posted. The original scripts took a lot 
longer. ;)

It isn't too hard to make your own:

1. Download the MetaCard Setup stack from RevOnline. Open it in Rev.  
Make sure all the Dictionary options are checked. Run the setup.


2. In Rev, open the MC Dictionary stack you just installed. Click  
the Home button and import all the Rev dictionary entries. The "?"  
button tells you how.


3. Edit the MC Dictionary stack script and add this handler:

-- JLG: export as HTML file
on exportDict
 ask file "Name the HTML export file:"
 if it = "" then exit exportDict
 put it into tFileName
 put "" into tP
 set cursor to watch
 repeat with x = 2 to the number of cds
   put the htmltext of fld "word" of cd x & tP & tP after tData
   put the htmltext of fld "type" of cd x & tP & tP after tData
   put the htmltext of fld "summary" of cd x & tP & tP after tData
   put the htmltext of fld "main" of cd x & tP & tP after tData
   put the htmltext of fld "see also" of cd x & tP & tP after tData
   put tP & "" & tP after tData
 end repeat
 put tData into url ("file:"&tFileName)
end exportDict

4. Type "exportDict" into the message box. It only takes a second to  
create the HTML file.


5. Open the new HTML file in a browser or in Word or anywhere else  
you can display it. Print. In the OS X print dialog, choose to  
create a PDF file. On Windows, you'll need a PDF print driver to do  
that.


It isn't gorgeous but it's all there. You could edit the HTML (or  
the export script) before printing to make it prettier.

Very nice online documents with room for user comments, related how-to

Re: [OT] Anyone using an ebook reader with the RunrevDictionary PDF?

[J. Landman Gay]

Actually, since we're off-topic, anyone using any ebook reader should 
check out Calibre. It's really a marvel. Ditch your native software, 
Calibre does it all and is fully cross platform. It also has a built-in 
Stanza server for those who can't load books except via a wireless 
connection. My husband uses Calibre to load ebooks onto his iPod Touch.


I'm not connected with them, I'm just a very enthusiastic user.

I have a Sony 700 and it reads PDFs. If the PDF is an image, you can 
resize it to any scale and then scroll it by moving the image around the 
screen. If the PDF has flowable text, then the text will display as 
pages on the screen without having to resize it. You can search and 
annotate with the Sony 700. You can also set the text size to your 
preference. The Sony eReader does not have an internet connection, but 
I've never missed it. I load all my books from my Mac using the free 
software Calibre, which will convert almost any format to any other 
format, including Sony's. It will also convert PDFs to native text 
documentation.


I chose the 700 because I wanted a backlight, but the 505 is good if you 
read mostly in daylight. I don't know if the 505 accepts PDFs directly 
but Calibre supports the 505, so it can convert PDFs if you need to.


I just tried converting the Rev User Guide from PDF to Sony's "lrf" 
format, and it worked fine. It would also have worked on the Sony 
without conversion.


I've been using ebook readers for years, and I love them. My last one 
was worn down to the metal before I gave it up, I'd worn off all its 
skin. I'm a strong advocate for saving trees, and I like the convenience 
of being able to carry around hundreds of books in a device that is only 
a few ounces.

Matthias,
I have heard rumors (on the Kindle boards)  that at an international  
Kindle DX will be announced soon--can't remember exactly when.


Yes, I believe keyword searching is also not possible.  I KNEW there  
was a reason I had my Rev Dox on the DX but wasn't using them much.   
Or maybe that's just  because I haven't had time to use Rev at all  
lately. :-)

I have the Kindle 2, Kindle DX and used to have a Sony 505.

I would recommend using the Kindle DX, since it will give you nearly  
full size display of your PDF (albeit as a graphic PDF, not a reflowed  
text PDF).  I've tried the Sony 505 (same size screen as 600) but PDFs  
were so small I couldn't read them.  Same problem would be present if  
the Kindle 2 were capable of native display of PDFs (without  
conversion to AZW)--and I can't recall offhand if it even can.


Long story short, the only thing that does this adequately at present  
is the Kindle DX.  The only downside to reading PDFs on the DX is that  
the page is displayed as a graphic not as reflowing text, so can not  
be highlighted or annotated.

Re: View and print a PDF file from Rev

[Josep]

Hi List,

Reply to myself... :)

I obtained print a PDF file without any dialog from the terminal using the
"lpr" command selecting one printer. 

So this must be posible run using the shell function from rev.

To know what printers are available I can obtaing from "put the
availablePrinters into tPrinters" but this isn't the name of the printer in
the system.

How can now the printers name in the system to show to the user? I can know
it using "lpstat -p"...


Salut,
Josep

Re: View and print a PDF file from Rev

[Josep]

Hi,

OK, I test more with the revBrowser. But exist any way to print a PDF
directly without any dialog, only to select the printer? Maybe using
applescript?

The player is fine to show a preview but any way to move page by page
without show the controller?

revBrowser uses the browser control installed on your machine. On PC it uses
IE and on Mac it uses Safari. Whatever plugins you have installed for these
browsers will then work within revBrowser. So, if you have the Adobe reader
plugin installed for these browsers, then you can display PDF docs inside of
a rev window. Also, be aware that whatever settings you have for these
browsers will be the same when the control is used from revBrowser.

First, make sure you can just browse to the PDF doc just using IE on PC or
Safari on Mac. Make sure Adobe reader is set to display in the browser and
not outside the browser (this is in the settings of the Adobe plugin). Once
you know this is working, then you use revBrowser to bring up the browser
control inside of a rev window and when you browse to a web page or PDF doc,
it should display within the rev window just like it did when you used the
browser. As to printing a PDF, it is actually the adobe plugin that is doing
the printing, just like it does when it is running in the browser.

I don't have experience with Mac but on PC I can tell you it all works with
IE 6, 7 and 8. Usually any problems you may experience are due to the
version of the Adobe plugin. Maybe someone else can chime in with their
experience with Safari.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini

If you can't find a workaround for the crash, the only other option I can
think of is to launch the PDF in Acrobat Reader:

  put  into tFilePath
  launch document tFilePath

I have some code for displaying PDF pages in a Rev player, but as far as I
know, the resolution is limited to the screen so I don't think this would be
useful for you for printing.

From one of you previous posts, I understood that you wanted to turn  
the content of a field into PDF. Since PDF is a bit too complicated to  
produce from scratch, what I propose is to


a) translate the HTMLtext of the field into a page description  
language which

b) can easily produce PDF without writing extra code

LaTeX can do that, it is freeware, it has a large community of users,  
and runs on Mac OS X (and 7.x etc..), windows and linux.
You could also output an HTML file and print from a browser, or use  
RTF and produce PDF (with applescript, probably, or VB)
(La)TeX is a professional typesetting environment, and has been around  
since the early 80's; more info in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX

I know how to produce pdf files from a 'regular' Mac or Linux
program . . . come on, Peter, give me a wee bit of credit . . .:)

But I should like to have a universal method whereby I can print
directly from a text field in a RunRev stack/standalone to PDF
regardless of the platform the stack is running on.

For instance:

put field "X" into URL "file:test.pdf"

[which, bye-the-bye, produces a text file with the suffix .pdf]

which ACTUALLY produces a PDF file.

or:

open file "test.pdf" for write
write field "X" to file "test.pdf"

[which, bye-the-bye, also produces a text file with the suffix .pdf]

as one can EXPORT images as PNG, JPEG, GIF and so on, it would be
lovely if one could do something of the sort with text files:

write field "X" to file "test.pdf" as PDF

-
Imagine a RunRev stack that can cope with the complexities of
producing really decent texts using highly complex writing systems
such as those used in the Indian subcontinent; now, with unicode
and so on, that is perfectly reasonable, and that sort of program
can pump out html files with the end result.

BUT . . .

suppose, owing to the complexity of that sort of writing system,  
coupled

with the fact that the unicode standard has not got designated slots
for all the written forms, the producer of the RunRev stack has had  
to produce

his/her own, non-standard unicode font to cope with those problems.

The end result should produce PDF files (that embed the special  
font) as
there is a very slim chance that an end-user/reader of such texts  
would have

that specialist font on their system.


Hi Richmond
The solution I am currently implementing is an export of the htmlText  
of a  field to a LaTeX (text) file and then using the shell command
"pdflatex" && tFilePath to ouput pdf. It does not do the actual  
printing.
There is also XeTeX which is a variant of TeX which implements support  
for unicode input and AAT or OT fonts. It has been recently ported to  
Windows and Linux.
Use of a LaTeX package enables creates hyperlinks and bookmarks int  
the pdf output.
GUI applications are also available. All of this is freeware and  
actively maintained. Resources are

general: http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html
mac: http://www.tug.org/mactex/

here is a sample (temporary) code I use for experimentation. It  
collects several fields of a card (from a dictionary stack) to produce  
corresponding LaTeX code


-- TeX handlers and functions
function html2TeX theText
   replace "" with empty in theText
   replace "" with cr & cr in theText
   replace "" with "{\bf " in theText
   replace "" with "}" in theText
   replace "" with "{\em " in theText
   replace "" with "}" in theText
   -- special characters
   replace """ with quote in theText
   replace "	" with comma in theText
   replace "&" with backslash & "&" in theText
-- here I get rid of unsupported tags
   replace "<" with tab & "<" in theText
   replace ">" with ">" & tab in theText
set the itemdelimiter to tab
   put the number of items of theText into n
   repeat with i = n down  to 1
  get item i of theText
  if char 1 of it is "<" then
 delete item i of theText
  end if
   end repeat
   replace tab with empty in theText
   -- deal now with < and >
   replace "<" with "$<$" in theText
   replace ">" with "$>$" in theText
   --   clean up cr's
   put the number of lines of theText into n
   repeat with i = n down  to 2
  get line i of theText
  if it is empty and line (i-1) of theText is empty then
 delete line i of theText
  end if
   end repeat
   return theText
end html2TeX

-- collect fields. Entries are from the rev's dictionary

function card2TeX theCard
   goCard theCard
   put 1 into n
   put backslash & "section{" & fld "name" & "}" into line n of theText
   put backslash & "label{" & the short name of this card & "}" after  
line n of theText

   add 1 to n
   put backslash & "paragraph{Type}" into line n of theText
   add 1 to n
   put fld "type" into line n of theText
   add 1 to n
   put backslash & &quo

Richard,

Try

I had to use this for a order entry application I wrote and it worked really
well.  Plus you get great support from Jan Schenkel who is a frequent
contributor to this list.
