 I am trying to automate a web page interaction and to figure out the
 initial interaction sequence, I have installed HTTP::Recorder and
 HTTP::Proxy, but the recorder fails to follow the login-in button due
 to a missing method called query_param.  Any advice here?

Try to add the statement 'use URI::QueryParam' to your program.

I searched the web and found that these are normal errors on Cygwin, 
but what does that have to do with us? Is this just tracks from the 
errors in BDB (which I also have)?

Re: Editing PDF files?

I think someone needs to build an editor for PDF files.  Maybe macros  
for emacs or vim.

no. Lots of stuff for searching, annotating, and rearranging pages  
- but no low-level editing functions like you describe. Which makes  
sense - PDF is really more of a delivery format than an editing  
format.


Do you have control over the source of these PDF documents? If so,  
you could make your changes there, and maybe use Automator to build  
up a workflow to create and manage the PDFs.

Re: Editing PDF files?

2005-08-22 Thread Arntzen, Torkjell
Hello..


This have been a problem as long as PDF has existed. The PDF format was
initially created as a simpler and smaller format than PostScript. It's like
PS not a format that was intended to be editable

There are some applicarions thought that you might like to try out.
The commersial Solvere from the german company One Vision
You may also try to parse a PDF into Illustrator, but then the structure
will be lost

Both are pretty expensive solutions and are not very good soulutions but
still.

So I could not agree more: Build a simple, small,  inexpensive editor...

Torkjell Arnzten
