Looking back at your original question, I can now see you weren't looking to embed high-resolution images into a new PDF document, but rather how you print a PDF file. On Mac, you can use an AppleScript to ask Preview or Acrobat Reader to print the PDF file. Preview will always be there, but

I think the best method is to have a datetimestamp column in the remote database, which you then have locally when you do a query. Then, periodically, your app does the same query, but ONY finds records that have a datetimestamp later than the last time you updated (very fast, since the record

Speaking of IDEs, Jerry's tRev is kind of a 'remote' IDE with his little agents running around. I found out about another 'feature' that was there from the beginning. When your stack or Rev crashes, tRev stays running and doesn't freak out. It just sits there, with your current scripts. So you

Rename the stack so the name starts with rev and it becomes invisible. My preference is to edit a plugin with a temporary name and only change it to rev when it is debugged, as debugging a rev stack is difficult. Cheers, Sarah On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 10:38 AM, stephen barncard

Thanks all, for the info. Yes, being 'invisible' seems to place it in a special, possibly superior place in the *message path* - where does it live in the hierarchy? Since the plug stack exists in a different folder what is the file address path it need to use? Absolute only? Plugin folder POV?
