Merging PDF pages

It's been a while since I've posted a question here. Is it possible to use livecode script to merge multiple 1-page PDFs into a multipage PDF without using Acrobat or other 3rd party software? Thanks. ~Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list

Re: IP Camera Image in Browser Widget

Hi Roger, I don't have a suggestion. Just wanted to say that I too would value such an option, especially in an Android app. My use-case is to mount an IP camera on an RC Lawnmower, and using VR goggles, control it form a first-person point-of-view; Essentially, simulating a riding mower

Re: The correct way to quit a Windows standalone

I do this to cleanly exit my Windows standalone, which is a splashscreen stack. Because I have used a couple of fonts that I keep with the standalone, I have to STOP USING them, else the process will still continue to run. This handler is in my visible stack, not in the standalone splashscreen

Re: Widget TurnImage89_v135

If the rotate speed also included "0", this could be used to display the same card, or the same video as SBS (side-by-side). That would make it possible to create SBS apps for use on phones in a VR headset. ~Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list

That was a nice trip down memory lane. However, I would rather have a modern online script editor for LiveCode where you write a script in one tab of Chrome/Safari/Firefox/Edge , and execute/display it in another tab. No installation of any IDE! ~Roger From:
