General market inertia coupled with Adobe's power and their dependency on PDF will certainly keep adoption of simpler, more flexible, and less proprietary formats at bay longer than would be useful.

Good advice to improve the world :-). But unfortunately difficult if not impossible to follow for now. As a software user I have a variety of ways to generate PDFs (scanner apps that generate them as default output for multi-page docs, many apps 'export to PDF', any app can 'print to PDF', ..) and basically no app that I regularly use has a way (that I am aware of) to create ePubs. I often get sent PDFs, never been sent an ePub document. As a Livecode developer, I have ready access to libraries to create and to read PDFs (ok, need to be a Business License holder for reading). There is no (AFAIK) library to create ePub; the only ePub reader I can find (thank you, James Hale) needs some work to pull out the main parts into a library, and then to make it explicitVariable-safe (and it does need that - a couple of the complaints it throws up are indeed lurking bugs, not simply false errors). So I think we're a few years away from being able to replace PDF with ePub :-( -- Alex. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Certificate Problems
Ok, I’ve answered some of my own problems. Panos’ suggestion to make sure “Beta Version” was not checked in the iOS preferences, worked. So, until the next time when I lose a bit more hair, my app is loading and I can test it. Thanks, Colin and Panos, for the few words of wisdom that it took to get this going.

Long term: Per Postel's Law, reduce the stockpile of PDFs littering humanity's infosphere by generating none except in the increasingly rare cases where no other format is a better choice. PDF is an archaic format held over from the days when nearly all display devices had screens at least as wide as a printed page. Back in the '90s, when it was popularized, a fixed-size format emulating a printed piece of paper was not an unreasonable thing to do. But times have changed. We rarely kill trees just to read anymore, so the bounds of a printed page are approaching meaninglessness. This becomes critically important for delivering an enjoyable reading experience when we consider that an ever-smaller minority of our time is spent on screens large enough to accommodate that size. Many of our screens are much smaller, and moreover they vary enough to make any single fixed size needlessly cumbersome. Attempting to read PDFs on a phone ranges from mildly annoying to prohibitively frustrating. That unnecessary pain is easily replaced these days with modern formats that reflow text to fit any of the many devices we might be using at any given moment. There's a good argument for using EPub as that foundation. But that's a long-term solution, and while I believe it's an inevitability as mobile use continues to grow it won't solve your need in the here-and-now., so: Short term: The Linux universe has many good command-line solutions available for extracting text from PDFs easily and efficiently, like this one: https://www.howtogeek.com/228531/how-to-convert-a-pdf-file-to-editable-text-using-the-command-line-in-linux/ For those Win10 Pro users who can be convinced the tick a checkbox, the entire universe of the Ubuntu shell is now available. macOS also includes utilities for this, but I don't believe the same ones (at least not without installing an independent package manager like Homebrew. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Certificate Problems
I think it might be very helpful to know how the Apple Developer Web site, Xcode, and keychain interact on the Mac. One thing that is confusing me on the developer site, is when I try to make a new provisioning profile, it says there are no available certificates. Yet, when I go to the certificates section of the developer site, there are several certificates for iOS. It seems that I should delete all profiles and certificates and start from scratch. But I go to the keychain and see a bunch of certificates that don’t show up on the developer site. So, I have the following questions: 1. What is the relationship between certificates stored on dev site, and the keychain? I think certificates are resident on the keychain, but how do I synchronize what the dev site thinks I have and what keychain thinks Imhave? 2. Provisioning profiles. I know that livecode and Xcode stores provisioning profiles in the mobile device folder in the user’s library (/users/user/library/mobiledevice/Provisioning Profiles/) This is where livecode gets them. The dev site creates them and I can download all of them from Xcode, or individually from the dev site. If I download from the dev site, I can double click on the profile and it gets loaded into Xcode and appears in the above library. I can alternatively, use Xcode to download all profiles I have created on the dev site. All of this requires valid, recognized certificates. This seems to be the problem and the big number of certificates that appear on keychain is in contrast to the few that show up on the dev site. I tried to test an app that previously loaded to the iPhone, but when I tried to make a new a provisioning profile, it said there were no certificates available. Hmmm, the provisioning profile for my current app was created without objections and used a certificate on the dev site. So, do I need a separate certificate for each app? So. perhaps I have gotten into too many details, but have I made my confusion over this agonizing process clear? Perhaps if I could clean out all existing certificates and start over, I would succeed. But, if I could clear up some of my confusion, I could better solve these problems on my own. Btw, Colin, I looked at the console error log and I didn’t see anything that stood out. The transfer of my app to the iPhone seems to time out during the signing process, so I’m guessing there is some kind of certificate problem. I will be very thankful for any help on this, or reference to docs that might help.

Re: Certificate Problems
Hi Bill, Also make sure that: 1. You use a development (not distribution) provisioning profile 2. "Beta version" is not checked 3. If the provisioning profile is associated with a specific app id, then you use the correct app id.
