ActionScript 3.0 :: Print PDF File Without Using Adobe Reader?
Apr 11, 2012
I need to print sequence of static PDF files with out opening it in Adobe Reader. Is there any way to create a application which will print the PDf file with out opening it in Adobe Reader.
I have a pdf which opens when a button is clicked on and i was wondering if there is a way that i can force it to open in adobe reader instead of ie or firefox?
We have an Air and Flash application that opens a pdf, but many computers by default open pdfs in browser plugins rather than through reader itself. Is there a way to force the alternate behavior in Flash/Air? This is needed since we have slightly writable pdfs.
I want to open up a pdf-document (included within the *.air-package) with adobe acrobat (or any other pdf-reader). I've followed this solution openWithDefaultApplication fails on files in application folder.
var _myfilename = "John_Doe-tax_return_2011.pdf"; // = my filename //run: var realFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(_myfilename); var tempFile:File = File.createTempFile(); realFile.copyTo(tempFile,true); tempFile.openWithDefaultApplication(); //nothing happens ? //end;
I've tested it all, so it's not a directory issue trace(tempFile.extension) // > tmp (?? tempFile.extension = "pdf" doesn't works) trace(realFile.exists) // > true (original pdf-document exists!)
how do I go about printing entire, scrollable text area in flash movie, I know how to print entire page but when text file is scrollable it doesn't print whole text.
I'm using AlivePDF to create a PDF file, then save it to the desktop. I can then use an HTMLLoader to display my lovely PDF file.
Now, the print button in Adobe Reader works fine. However, there will be young children using the app, so I'd like to have a big "Print" button right above it. I figured I could just start up a print job and feed it my HTMLLoader. This won't work because the HTML loader rasterizes the content.
create a xml news board, i finally completed the news board and i had no problem displaying my offline xml file.I uploaded it to my testing server and nothing came up. i parse the rss feed in a different way ?when i tested it on my testing server. but when i tried it locally from my flash app it worked.
I am trying to create a print button on the last frame that will allow the user to print just that frame. I've tried using the printjob object, but all that I can get to happen is print a blank sheet of paper. Here is the code that I have so far:
function printScore(event:MouseEvent):void { var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
i want to simply print 2 movieClips when i press a Print button. so i have the "_root.container_mc" and "_root.logo_mc"... paste the simplest code for printing a "landscape" page with these 2?
I am trying to make a print button that will print the contents of a mc...this mc basically holds a dynamically drawn floorplan which can be zoomed and panned...I want to be able to print the contents of the mc, and only what is viewable in the mc at the time of the print...so if you are zoomed in, all that prints are the actual objects visibly seen in the mc...I think it may be with the print command using bmovie but I have no idea how to assign a #b lable to the frame.
[Code]... and go to the print section and then check out the print pieces. for some reason my resizing gallery movie is doing some weird stuff and i cant figure out how to fix it. my actionscript goes like this :
I am not able to print more than 5 pages in one go. I want to print almost 12 pages in one print job. I am creating the movieclips of each page by adding the dynamic data in to it and store in an array. When all the movieclips created and stored in an array(pagesAry) then it call the following function to print those pages:
private function sendToPrinter():void { pj = new PrintJob(); try
[code]....
Getting error: Print job canceled as it took more than 15 seconds to complete.
I'm importing a large text file and trying to print it with a footer. My method for all of this is very simple. I'm dynamically creating a sprite container that is fed to the the printjob() class. Inside that I'm creating a dynamic text field and scaling it to the right page height/width (408x574) and adding a footer below that.
Using a loop, I'm scrolling the text field to the top of the next page and adding the page number to the footer and adding the page to the job. Mostly, this works fine, but I'm noticing some lines from the text field are not printing. This happens at the page breaks and is not consistent across different printers I use.
I need to know what the details are of the file permissions of an adobe AIR app. Specifically, to where can may it write text files? Anywhere on the local system? I heard Adobe has a set of "Sandbox Permissions" but these just confuse me as I don't know where they apply. Additionally I wish to know if you need some kind of special permission to append to a file somewhere on the system.
For some reason I am unable to create a FLV file from a MP4 file with high bitrate. I even created a custom setting and specified bitrate as 2500 but the output file is always around 775.
I have developed a video player in adobe flash cs4 and used all vector arts but when I open this fla file in Adobe Flash CS5 and published it, the swf file size more then fla file.
I am working on Adobe AIR application and some test users report to me about same issue.When they try to save the project file from this application, they have no possibility to add any extension (".txt", ".xml" or any other) to the file.
I'm almost certain that this is impossible, but I had to ask. One of my clients wants to know if I can build something that can read the text in Flash, kind of like an HTML reader for the visually impaired. The user would be required to have speakers.
It wouldn't have to read all of the text in the movie, just certain dynamic text fields that are in the SWF.

I'm building a RSS 2.0 reader and have only a vague idea of how to do it except use URLLoader and URLRequest to start everything. Can anyone point to a good tutorial?
