The OpenEdge Hive

Hi everybody.

I have been working trying to generate PDFs with a lot of images on it.

I am running with some issues.

The file generates all right, but it really takes a while to generate it, probably because I am using JPEG images. I had tried to use GIF images, although the new version was supposed to work with GIF and PNG, I was not able to make it work.

The other problem I am facing is with the file size of the generated PDF, probably, again, I am using JPEG images, the resultant PDF gets really big.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In line 370 of pdf_inc.p when I run the program, i receive a message telling that the progress can`t understand after get-bits...anyone can help me?

(sorry for my english)

I am trying to work with GIF or PNG images. It looked like the main page on PDFInclude said it was now supported but I cannot find any information on it. Do you have to use the template functionality to do this?

Hi for all. I need calculate the original image size on pdfinclude, how find the size converted... inches, mm, or pixels?.
Regards

OS: AIX 4.3
ZLIB: 1.1.4, downloaded from Bull AIX Freeware
Progress: 9.1D

I downloaded and installed the zlib library from Bull AIX Freeware site, installing it using the instructions they provided. I have verified that the correct files reside in /usr/local/lib (libz.a, libz.so.1.1.4, and symbolic links to libz.so.1.1.4 from libz.so.1 and libz.so.

I have managed to download an older version of pdfinclude, because I want to use pre-defined fields (using OpenOffice) in a template pdf and fill them programmatically.

I cannot seem to get the multiline replacement to work.

Just looking for a working version.

Thnx in advance,

Karin

Hi,

Has anyone been able to print PDF files in duplex mode ?

I tried by "-o sides=two-sided-long-edge" option, and it's ok.
But i would like to set this option when creating PDF file.

Thanks,
Fabien.

I am new to PDF include but I'm re-writing all of my reports in it. I am very impressed and happy with this tool. I've always wondered by Progress doesn't do this natively. With the new .NET ultra tools you can do stuff in Progress as good as any other tool out there. As long as you don't want to print anything!

I am using the TABLE tool to write my reports because like most reports my outputs are mostly columns - in the old days I would have done it this way:

For each customer:
Display
customer.cust-name format "X(20)"

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to print barcodes from PDFInclude, and then more importantly scan them?

I can print code39 and code128 barcodes, but once printed none of them will scan.

I have tried different sizes, rotation etc.

Just will NOT scan.

Any help please.

Thnx

For those with a need to use this tool with a Courier font that works for Eastern European (Polish, etc), I have finally found one that works well with PDF Include and codepage ISO8859-2.

PDF Include 3.3.3

Got the write-up and replacement pdf_inc.p here:

http://www.tv.com.pl/stepbystep/pdfinclude/ (thank you so very much, Tomasz Judycki !!)

This took care of the Helvetica and Times-Roman proportional fonts.

I then downloaded this package of ISO8859-2 fonts:
