Hi Alex -

Ok, thanks for that information - I'll be sure to tell clients to use 'copy with formatting' to resolve the issue.

Hi Alex - Our clients do not necessarily use your editor, so that option is not available to us or to them. They will most likely use Acrobat Reader to copy the text we add to the PDF. Either way, I really need a solution that creates actual spaces, and not just the appearance of spaces. This way, i...

Hi Alex -

We use the Core API, not the Editor.

What does this method do anyway?
By the description it looks like it's simply using Justification (which is not what we want).

Is there an equivalent Method in the API ?

Hi Alex - I can't provide a sample as our code is way too complex. However you can simply replicate this using the Richtext setting in Showtextblock, then using this text (you will need to put 5 spaces between Hello and gooodbye as the Forum removes them too): <body><p><span style="xfa-spacerun:yes"...

whoit

Hi Again - After delivering this fix to a customer, they pointed out to us that while the text added with ShowTextblock while using "xfa-spacerun:yes" looks ok on the PDF, when you actually copy/paste to a text file there is only a single space. In fact you don't need to copy/paste from the PDF, you...

OK, thanks.

Hi Alex -

That fixes the issue - thanks!

One minor additional question though - your reply pointed me to the
XFA Doc v 2.4 - is that the correct version to reference?

I have a PDF with v3.3 from 2012....

Thanks Again,
Wayne

Hi Alex -

I tried your sample, but you are only using plain text.

I am using RichText
(uint)PXC_DrawTextFlags.DTF_RichText;

(Sorry I didn't mention that in the first post)

Hi - We've got a big problem with ShowTextBlock stripping out spaces from within strings. For example, if I use the string "Hello Goodbye", (Hello separated with multiple spaces - doesn't even show up in this Forum!!!!) it shows up on my document as: "Hello Goodbye". This a real issue for our client...

Hi Alex -

When do you expect the Layer functionality to be available for CoreAPI ?

It's been a while now...

Thanks.

Hi Alex -

Ok, thanks - your suggestions worked.

Hi - I'm using Core API v7.0.326.0 and having issues when trying to use Tabs within my text. I am successful with most XFA notation, but I keep getting errors when trying to use tabs. For example, this works fine: <body><p style="font-family:'Arial'; font-size:8pt; line-height:normal;">Lifecycle :Ex...

whoit

OK, thanks - I'll dig around.

BTW I've downloaded and run the new Demo - nice!

Only one issue: While running, after I select any sample from the left side, the "Go To Source" button does nothing,
nor does the code show in the window below the button.

(I'm running VS 2017)

whoit

I'm using ContentCreator, and ShowTextBlock. Is it possible to set the background of the textblock color ? For example, if I create a textblock with the intent of covering existing text, I would want the text to be black, and the background to be white... Or if want, white text on a black background...

Thanks Stefan -

My concern is not so much where the changes are listed,
as that ALL the changes are listed, particularly those that
affect functionality.

Thanks,

Hi Alex -

So the basic answer is that a raster file when used for Annotation is actually converted to a PDF format,
which then implements the original image DPI - Correct?

whoit

Hi Stefan - I've looked at the pages and there is really no details - for example, Alex mentioned earlier in this post that the issue with CreateEmptyCollection has been fixed, but I see no mention of it anywhere. Also, for example there is this note: " Added the 'Merge Pages' tool/action." Where is...

whoit

No problem - thanks for letting me know.

Where can I find a description of the changes/fixes for CoreAPI build 326 ?

whoit

I'm using 7.0.325.0

That's weird - I could swear that yesterday only 7.0.325.1 was available.
It must have been changed today....

I'll download 326 today and test it - thanks.

One more thing - can I get a detailed list of the changes/fixes in 326?

whoit

Hi Alex - OK, I did some more testing and this is what I found: 1) I have two sample images - A.png and B.png A.png is 72x72 @ 72dpi B.png is 80x31 @ 150dpi 2) When I use A.png as an IPXC_Image (for general placement on a page) IPXC_Image AImage = pDoc.AddImageFromFile("A.png"); it is returned as 72...

Hi Alex-

Do you expect an update during July ?

Thanks.

Hi - I'm experiencing a problem where I load any raster image from file and the resulting size is too small. Specifically, I have a 100x100 pixel sample that is loaded as 72x72 and of course is too small when placed onto a page. This happens with every raster image I try - bmp, jpg, png. I'm using t...

Has this issue been resolved in the current release of CoreAPI ?

CreateEmptyCollection does not work...

Thanks,

Ok, well that's embarrassing....

I'll keep testing but thanks for pointing that out.

whoit

I know it's only been a few days, but could you give me a status update?

Thanks.

whoit

Great! Thanks for the info.

whoit

OK, I've created and emailed a sample project and a sample PDF that illustrates the problem.

I've also added a bunch of notes in the code - look for lots of *****

Thanks.

Hi -

I'll see what I can do but I'd appreciate it if you'd look into the code samples I already posted.

Thanks.

whoit

I have some C# code which uses ShowTextBlock to first calculate the size of a TextBlock and then place it on a page. I am using the exact same properties, including the same text, except that I change the input pRect and pClip boundaries slightly. In one case the returned width is less than the inpu...

whoit

Me too!

It'll probably have to be something related to rect size and contents, although
I'm doing that now and have found issues (Alex pointed out the issue earlier...)

whoit

Hi Stefan -

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of...
I was hoping it was constructed as a 'regular' annotation and the rotation was part of it.

Oh, well - I'll keep thinking...

Thanks.

whoit

Yep - been down that road already....

whoit

HI Alex -

Yes, it's the output from AutoCAD when exporting to PDF.

So I guess there is no inherent way to determine the 'visual rotation'...damn.

Thanks.

whoit

Hi Alex -

I get the text from the Annotation.Data.Contents
and I get the rect from Annotation.Data.get_Rect()

But you're right, other than the Rect, I cannot determine if the annotation has been rotated.

That's what I'm trying to figure out....

whoit

Hi Alex - Ok I see that, but the text itself is still part of the annotation - you can see a popup when you mouse-over. So, I am able to get the text from the Content property. My issue is trying to determine when the annotation is Vertical vs Horizontal, and since the rotation always shows 0, I'm t...

whoit

Hi Stefan - I've tried that and all Annotations return "0". I've previously sent a sample of this file for a different forum post - can you please check with Alex for "sample-Layout1_MONOComments.pdf" The Annotation in question is in the original post "NORTH", which is the tenth annotation in the PD...

whoit

Hi - I have been given a PDF that includes several Comments of this kind : pxInst.StrToAtom("Square") Some of the comments are rotated (or their content is, I'm not certain which) For example, when opening the PDF, most comments are normal - that is, horizontal just like this text. Some are vertical...

Hi - I have some PDFs that use a CropBox that is smaller than the MediaBox. I'd like to either: 1) Copy the contents of the CropBox so that I can apply it to a new page or 2) Make the Crop permanent by removing everything outside, including the excess Media. (preferred) Should I just resize the Medi...

What are the chances of implementing Layers in CoreAPI first - meaning that all the Visual UI stuff for the Editor
could be eliminated from the API and thus be completed sooner?

whoit

Hi Alex -

I wanted to check again regarding Layers - will they be implemented soon?

I saw some documentation on Optional Content Groups - I believe that is the term in PDF for layers...is this the same?

Thanks.

whoit

Or, you could keep communicating with me several times a month!

whoit

True, but you could also document the usage (example?) ....you'd probably get a lot fewer questions!

whoit

Hi Alex -

Ok, thanks for checking.

We are facing several security-based issues with our clients so this would help as well.

HI Alex -

Ok, that seems to have resolved the issue and it is now running significantly faster (0.44 sec instead of 2.5 min)

Thanks again,

P.S. It would be nice if things like SaveState() and RestoreState() were documented!

Hi Alex - The positioning is fine when using PlaceContent() for each time through the loop. So, is the positioning cumulative each time I use ShowTextBlock() ? Have you checked my emailed sample code? Thanks P.S. I've tried zooming out in Acrobat Pro and X-Change Editor and I see nothing beyond the ...

whoit

OK, I will send via email my test app and sample file.

Hi -

Has your developer been able to address this yet?

Thanks,

whoit

So the basic code I posted would be correct?
