Thanks David,
I'd forgotten about the SYS.MESSAGE file.
It turns out that the issue was that the version of uniVerse was installed by a 
different user than all the other machines and the groups were not set 
correctly.

[U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box

2013-04-04 Thread Bruce Conway - Bamac LTD
I may have missed this discussion but if someone can help me that would be
great.

We have been executing a SB command to windows to open Adobe and print the
PDF document. We would like to either not have to open Adobe and print the
document or print the document from within our Unix box.

We have a hp7640 11iv3 running on an Itanium processor.

Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box

2013-04-04 Thread Carl Dula
Before you can print the pdf you need to convert it to a .ps file

You can download and install ghostscript (free) on the hp system, then use the 
pdf2ps convertor that 
comes with it.

pdf2ps can be run separately to product a ps file that is then spooled to a 
postscript printer, or 
it can be incorporated as the backend process of a print queue specifically 
designated to print 
pdf's.

I don't know whether the hp7460 is one of them, but a lot of modern 
printers are pdf printers. If it's a postscript printer there's a decent 
chance it's also a pdf printer.


In which case, just copy the the pdf to the printer (dump it to 
tcp:9100, ftp it across, dump the file across the raw connection, 
whatever) and the printer will recognise and print it. Just look at the 
options the printer's network card offers you for transferring print jobs.

Wol

That's just the title that shows up at the top of the reader window.

You don't need to specify the Adobe path and Reader - windows will figure out 
what program is associated with the .pdf extension and run that - this is not 
necessarily Acrobat Reader but most likely will be if that's all that is 
installed.

Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box

2013-04-04 Thread Dave Davis
As long as the pdf extension has been linked to a reader program in windows, 
it should be opening up the document in the reader program automatically.

I have used the acrobat reader switch to automatically print before (bringing 
up the Windows printer dialog, I mean to say), but not with the start command 
- never had a good reason to, most people want to preview what they print 
anyway.  I did use it back when I called the acrobat reader program directly.  
I switched to start because that kept me from having to worry about where the 
reader program was located and what it was called - that gets changed a lot 
I've noticed.

Then do you have the command that will actually automatically print the
document?

 

Here is our command being executed out of SB. I know that SB will read the
registry to determine the proper adobe program to execute.

As long as the pdf extension has been linked to a reader program in
windows, it should be opening up the document in the reader program
automatically.

 

I have used the acrobat reader switch to automatically print before
(bringing up the Windows printer dialog, I mean to say), but not with the
start command - never had a good reason to, most people want to preview
what they print anyway.  I did use it back when I called the acrobat reader
program directly.  I switched to start because that kept me from having to
worry about where the reader program was located and what it was called -
that gets changed a lot I've noticed.

Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box

2013-04-04 Thread Bob Rasmussen
Sometimes the hardest information to find is that what you want to do 
isn't possible. So let me tell you what is and what isn't possible, in 
printing PDFs in Windows.


1) You can OPEN a PDF based on its file extension.  From the command line, 
you can simply type type pathname of the PDF. From Windows Explorer, you 
can double-click. These use a system in Windows called file 
associations. Specifically here, you're using the OPEN verb. In the 
Windows registry there is a command associated with .PDF and open; 
typically it runs Adobe Reader. Once open, it is up to the user to print 
the file.


2) You can also execute the command string yourself, if you know what EXE 
to use. That is what you cited in a later email.


3) In Windows Explorer, you can also right-click on a PDF and select 
Print, to cause Windows to print the file on the default printer. This 
is using the print verb in the file association. Behind the scenes, this 
will run a command, typically running Adobe Reader with a /p parameter 
(for print).


4) There is NOT an equivalent way to do this from the command line.

5) You can create a shortcut to a specific printer on your desktop. Then 
you can drag a PDF to this shortcut, and it MAY print on this 
(non-default) printer. This uses the less-documented printto verb 
in the system of file associations. Support in Reader for printing in this 
way has varied by version.


6) There is NOT an equivalent way to do this from the command line.

7) You MIGHT be able to invoke Reader with some command line parameters to 
cause it to print on a specific printer. Results may vary by version.


8) NONE of these will let you control various output options in Reader, 
such as whether the report should be shrunk to fit the printable page.


9) All of these assume that the PDF file to be printed exists on the 
Windows PC, or is accessible to it, such as via Samba. None will pull the 
file from an HTTP or FTP server.


Bottom line is that there is not a good and convenient way to do this 
using Windows commands.


However, we offer a solution, in the form of our Print Wizard product. 
Consider the following command:

   printwiz.exe http://somehost.com/somefile.pdf  /pMy laserjet printer
This will bring up printwiz.exe, which will fetch the PDF from the http 
server into memory (never being stored on the local disk), and print it to 
the specified printer. Printwiz is doing the PDF interpretation itself, it 
is not using any Adobe or other products.


There are a huge number of other options, such as shrink-to-fit, page 
range, multiple copies, password entry, preview, watermarking, form 
overlaying, and more.

I assume you're referring to the fit-to-page setting. But my understanding 
is that you can set the printing preferences to a) edge-to-edge, or b) 
default, which means to behave according to the reader's default setting. 
There is NOT a way to set it to always shrink to fit. If I'm wrong, please

With us - the issue was to keep it from defaulting to shrink to fit.

It wasn't important to make it always be one setting, just to get it 
defaulted the way I needed.

The users wouldn't typically know to change this to the appropriate value for 
themselves.

 Interesting.

 How long did it take to write a compliant reader?

It took YEARS. And I don't claim to be finished.

 We handle the problem in #8 with a Catalog entry in the PDF file.

I assume you're referring to the fit-to-page setting. But my understanding is 
that you can set the printing preferences to a) edge-to-edge, or b) default, 
which means to behave according to the reader's default setting.
There is NOT a way to set it to always shrink to fit. If I'm wrong, please 
provide specifics.

 Sometimes the hardest information to find is that what you want to do isn't 
 possible. So let me tell you what is and what isn't possible, in printing 
 PDFs in Windows.

 1) You can OPEN a PDF based on its file extension.  From the command line, 
 you can simply type type pathname of the PDF. From Windows Explorer, you can 
 double-click. These use a system in Windows called file associations. 
 Specifically here, you're using the OPEN verb. In the Windows registry there 
 is a command associated with .PDF and open; typically it runs Adobe 
 Reader. Once open, it is up to the user to print the file.

 2) You can also execute the command string yourself, if you know what EXE to 
 use. That is what you cited in a later email.

 3) In Windows Explorer, you can also right-click on a PDF and select Print, 
 to cause Windows to print the file on the default printer. This is using the 
 print verb in the file association. Behind the scenes, this will run a 
 command, typically running Adobe Reader with a /p parameter (for print).

 4) There is NOT an equivalent way to do this from the command line.

 5) You can create a shortcut to a specific printer on your desktop.
 Then you can drag a PDF to this shortcut, and it MAY print on this
 (non-default) printer. This uses the less-documented printto verb in the 
 system of file associations. Support in Reader for printing in this way has 
 varied by version.

 6) There is NOT an equivalent way to do this from the command line.

 7) You MIGHT be able to invoke Reader with some command line parameters to 
 cause it to print on a specific printer. Results may vary by version.

 8) NONE of these will let you control various output options in Reader, such 
 as whether the report should be shrunk to fit the printable page.

 9) All of these assume that the PDF file to be printed exists on the Windows 
 PC, or is accessible to it, such as via Samba. None will pull the file from 
 an HTTP or FTP server.

 Bottom line is that there is not a good and convenient way to do this using 
 Windows commands.

 However, we offer a solution, in the form of our Print Wizard product.
 Consider the following command:
printwiz.exe http://somehost.com/somefile.pdf  /pMy laserjet printer
 This will bring up printwiz.exe, which will fetch the PDF from the http 
 server into memory (never being stored on the local disk), and print it to 
 the specified printer. Printwiz is doing the PDF interpretation itself, it is 
 not using any Adobe or other products.

 There are a huge number of other options, such as shrink-to-fit, page range, 
 multiple copies, password entry, preview, watermarking, form overlaying, and 
 more.

 See www.anzio.com for more details and a free demo.

 I may have missed this discussion but if someone can help me that
 would be great.

 We have been executing a SB command to windows to open Adobe and
 print the PDF document. We would like to either not have to open
 Adobe and print the document or print the document from within our Unix box.

 We have a hp7640 11iv3 running on an Itanium processor.

 Here is the Unidata information:
Module Name Version   Licensed

 UniData RDBMS 7.2 Yes
 Connection Pooling... 7.2 No

 Oh, love this list, I have been using Pick since 1985 and still going
 strong.

[U2] c#/uniobject/chinese/spanish characters

2013-04-04 Thread doug chanco

hi all,
anyone care to share any suggestions on the best way to create pick 
records that include chinese/spanish characters via c# and uniobjects or 
just c# and writing to a unix file?


I have some ideas I am mulling around in my head but I thought I'd tap 
into the vast knowledge base available on here.


I am basically looking at creating a pick record (or a unix one) that is 
a mixture of html and text (in english/chinese and spanish).


any thoughts/suggestions are extremely welcomed

thanks

dougc

way easier,
+ CREATE-FILE  DICT BLOB
+ edit voc entry to create a VOC file pointer to a ../udir/blob on line
002
+ write said files to file BLOB keeping the record keys in a pick record,
+ open 'BLOB' as a file, OS thinks it is a Type 1 file, to READU, SELECT,
SORT etc
+ !!!DO NOT!!!  READ record (unless you want to trash the file and possibly
your whole system!) , but can select, sort, etc on key.
+ !!!DO NOT!!!  ADD DICT ITEMS to access any part of the record, including
I type size (eg  in line 2) dict items.
+ If needing to store more detail about each file, eg EXIF, write it into
an X coded dict item with the same key as the DATA record (naughty, but
possible, and keeps everything in the same file (or at least it looks like
it does!). The 'X' code is ignored by the LIST DICT.
+++ eg   001 X
+++002 1024x728
+++003 Canon PS280
+++...etc...
+++
+ If needing to store more detail to SORT each file, add it into a
composite key (ideal), or worst case, have a separate tag file
+
+ The O/S can auto load the correct external app when 'filename' is
'echo'ed from a BAT / BASH as long as filename has the correct suffix.
