Hacking PDFs [slightly OT]
Folks, I have a large D2W application that generates tons of product spec sheets as PDF. The customer requires that all the PDFs are copy restricted (no copy allowed, just view and print). That all works. Now the customer has the idea that I should bundle all the generated PDFs into one large PDF. I can do that, no problem. BUT (there is always one, isn't there?) there are externally created PDFs (also copy restricted) that I need to include into the compound PDF. Those 3rd party PDFs are out of my control. I suggested to bundle the PDFs into a ZIP archive but the customer wants ONE large PDF. No, they don't care about inconsistent page numbering, they just want ONE PDF with 150+ pages and one cover page with internal links to the embedded documents. Here is my problem: I have no idea how to do this. All the code I have found cannot deal with protected PDFs (and I have no way to unprotect them easily). The customer is even willing to accept something that can circumvent the protection. The only way I know of to get rid of the restriction is by opening the PDF in ColorSync on the Mac and then print to pdf. However the production app runs on Solaris, there is no Mac around. I might be able to talks the customer into buying a Mac just for this kind of processing. But this is really really last resort. Any ideas? Any PDF guru out there? Thanks for any help, I urgently need it. ---markus--- Markus Ruggiero mailingli...@kataputt.com Check out the new book about Project Wonder and WebObjects on http://learningthewonders.com/ ___ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Re: Hacking PDFs [slightly OT]
what framework are you using to create these pdfs? I am using ERJasperReports (my own version to update to the newest JR). I will check again, but this was not difficult in jasperreports. It has a few bugaboos, but nothing insurmountable.

Re: Hacking PDFs [slightly OT]
Hi Markus.
I haven’t worked with copy restricted documents, but I use PDFBox to open and
work with password protected documents. At first glance it looks like it might
work for you (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14700241/remove-encryption-from-pdf-with-pdfbox-like-qpdf
). PDFBox also comes with a nice little utility class for merging PDFs, here’s
an example of how to use it. Although I suspect you’ll have to preprocess the
documents (removing access restrictions) before using the PDFMergerUtility.
public WOActionResults multipleInvoiceResponse() {
PDFMergerUtility list = new PDFMergerUtility();
list.addSource( new ByteArrayInputStream( pdfDocument1ByteArray
) );
list.addSource( new ByteArrayInputStream( pdfDocument2ByteArray
) );
list.addSource( /* etc… */ );
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
list.setDestinationStream( out );
try {
list.mergeDocuments();
}
catch( COSVisitorException | IOException e ) {
throw new RuntimeException( An exception occurred
while attempting to merge multiple invoices”, e );
}
return USHTTPUtilities.responseWithDataAndMimeType(
“invoices.pdf, out.toByteArray(), application/pdf );
}
Cheers,
- hugi

D2W app date field is required ???
I have a simple D2W app that creates pdfs from various data. I have a report that requires minimally choosing a client, a location and a date for the event. When I am creating a new report, my fields client, date, and location are marked (little red asterisk) as being required. If I leave the location blank or if I don’t choose the client, I get a very nice warning that these fields are mandatory. A Contact Report must have a Client. Please provide a Location. However, if I leave the date field blank (obvious op error) the app crashes.

Sharing an EO model between applications... ?
Folks, I have a webobjects application that I want to split into two separate applications: one to do slow, batch-oriented tasks; the second to manage simple, fast user queries. Ideally, the two applications would exchange data through a database using a common EO model. However, I have no idea whether the WO runtime provides any kind of concurrency/locking protection for this scenario. I have a rudimentary understanding of locking, but this is way beyond my understanding, and I haven't found any hints on-line. Any help, including a pointer to somewhere that this may have already have been answered, would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Sharing an EO model between applications... ?
Hi Chris, The word you are looking for is “framework”. Put the model and EO classes and anything else you want shared in a framework project and include that in the two application projects. http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Development-Frameworkshttp://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Development-Frameworks?src=search http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/WEB/Your+First+Frameworkhttp://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/WEB/Your+First+Framework?src=search http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Add+a+Framework+Dependency As for locking… do you run more than one instance of your application now? If so, you should not run into any new problems. If not, it is possible that your code is relying on there being only one process updating the database and that a second app could result in optimistic locking failures that you will need to now handle and will result in data freshness concerns that you will need to accommodate. http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/EOF-Using+EOF-Optimistic+Locking http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/EOF-Using+EOF-Concurrency http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/EOF-Using+EOF-Problems http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/EOF-Using+EOF-Caching+and+Freshness Chuck -- Chuck Hill Executive Managing Partner, VP Development and Technical Services Practical WebObjects - for developers who want to increase their overall knowledge of WebObjects or who are trying to solve specific problems. http://www.global-village.net/gvc/practical_webobjects Global Village Consulting ranks 13th in 2012 in BIV's Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies in B.C!

Re: D2W app date field is required ???
If you have this kind of error, check your validateForSave method. Maybe do you just forget to call super.validateForSave()? There is nothing related to D2W or NSTimestamp attribute. And initializing your attribute with now is crap. If your users delete the value you will have fixed nothing. Put a breakpoint and trace your code.
