Scott:
You are absolutely correct. I have noticed, though, that busy profs prefer to
use apps they are already familiar with and adding an app to look at student
work for a single assignment would most likely put them off. So, I’m wanting to
get student work in a format that can be either
Jim:
What I’m thinking is that my app would allow students to write their text and
create the images. I would export the “composition” in pdf format. That would
be imported into the LMS or sent to the teacher external to my app. The teacher
could then comment on the writing either in the LMS or
*IF* the pdf files are simple enough, there are some substitutions that you can
“just make”.
A string literal can be replaced with a string of the same length. It could
also be replaced with a shorter string and space-padded for the extra space.
You want to put a string that is three

Thanks for replying to my post. It seems the situation is as I thought
although making a GUI with Livecode to activate an external library is
easier than using other tools to make a GUI for an external library.
When I started this conversation I assumed I would something like that.
That should have read preconfigured to read the FDF file (stupid spell correct!)

If you are talking about form data, there IS a way to configure a PDF so that
it reads a data file contains just form data and populates with the new data.
This works with Mac and Windows, and I assume with Linux, but the caveat is
that the PDF has to be configured to do this first.
The format

Can Livecode edit existing PDF files? I would think this far beyond
its scope and just not the sort of thing it would be involved
Does your stack auto-save anything at any time? If power fails during a save
operation, there will be another stack file of the same name preceded by a
tilde (~). Deleting the tilde will restore the prior version of the stack file.
Sometimes a power outage can damage the partition of the HDD. I

I had 70 PS POS systems in the field and I saved the list of items and
other info after each addition it worked 99.9% of the time. But when it
failed (4 or 5 times a year) usually the same

livecode stack. In the end I

LiveCode stack files are an underrated document format.

For getting it FROM the student, why not just use a livecode stack file. It
could contain everything and be highly editable. For returning it TO the
student you could use a pdf.

If the 'student writing' is created in some other program then wouldn't it be

Richard,
I kinda like the pdf idea. Seems it would give me a way to encapsulate and
format the text and images and perhaps a fairly defined pdf format would make
it straightforward to edit it using Livecode as well.
Best,

It may not be. I've made standards-compliant courseware in the past (a

Oooh! For once I might make a contribution!
I had the same issue in a healthcare context. These IT systems vary
tremendously between services, are complex and often hard to connect with -
either by design, or by lack of interest in supporting other software.

Folks,
I’m refining an application I used to teach Plate Tectonics when I was a
working prof. The application’s core is access to Earth data (that scientists
used to develop the theory of plate tectonics) and capturing and annotating
plots that can be incorporated into student writing.
I am
Perhaps I've asked the wrong question. If you have a resizable screen-layout

the buttons, if they have graphical icons? Ok, most programs I know don't
