I've written an interface with a 3rd party web service in VB.NET. The final step in that interface involves the 3rd party delivering to us (as a stream) a PDF document. After streaming is complete I save a copy of the PDF on our servers, so that our users can view the PDF by clicking on a link in our system. The PDF opens fine in Acrobat X, but when I try to open it programatically I an error saying that "the file is damaged and could not be repaired". I can also open the file in IE just fine, with no issues, and the same code that displays this PDF works just fine on lots of other existing PDFs that predate the 3rd party interface.
I have emptied out temporary internet files as suggested in some posts I saw online. I also opened the PDF in Notepad++ and the %PDF tag is first, and the %%EOF tag is last, so there's certainly no corruption visible in the document source that I can see. Below is the (very standard) code we use to open PDFs into a separate browser instance on our site:
I'm having a problem with closing Acrobat. I'm using vb.net to sign a PDF file in running Acrobat. After I'm done I close Acrobat and try to delete the currently signed PDF file, but I get an error message telling me that file is being used by another process. I tried closing and setting to Nothing AcroApp, AcroAVDoc, AcroPDDoc JSO, but still that doesn't work. I tried releasing them with Marshal.ReleaseComObject(...) still no effect.[code]
I'm writing an app that prints of batches of documents to clients for posting. The printer uses OMR to collate and fold the documents into envelopes automatically.The document inputs will either be Word or Adobe Acrobat. I have routines to print off each document type while adding OMR on the fly.
The issue I have is that when the routine for PDF is run, the Adobe file is not closing properly. So when the next clients batch is being printed, there is an error saying that the document is locked by another user or process.I'm using the Acrobat 7 reference library and have Acrobat 7 installed on my machine (full blown product, not reader,) I'm closing the PDDocument, the AVDocument and the application in the code and I've even wrote a routine to kill the process to no avail.
I am currently generating paper forms from backend database using reporting facilities in vb.net apps. I am now required to turn these reports into PDF forms that can be sent via email to clients who can then fill in the remaining fields not filled-in in the first place at form creation.
IF I open up IE, which I assume the WebBrowser control is based on, I can type the path of the PDF in the address bar, and it views it in the browser, just as it should.
When I do "navigate" to a PDF file, I do notice a short popup (and progress bar) before viewing the PDF in acrobat. It happens so quickly that I can't read it, but it looks like a download progress bar.
I am having an issue with displaying a PDF in an iframe in asp.net. When the pdf shows up it is showing up without the Acrobat toolbar that allows the user to zoom and print. This is causing a major hassle for our customers because they cannot read the PDF in the size that it is. If you try and set Acrobat to not show the PDF in the browser and browse to that page you get a message saying that it is trying to open it in Full Screen mode.Below is the code I use to stream the PDF to the browser:
Public Shared Sub StreamPdfToBrowser(ByVal doc As Document) Dim Ctx As HttpContext = HttpContext.Current '// Clear any part of this page that might have already been buffered for output.
I'm currently having an issue with VB.Net and Adobe Acrobat. The issue comes from exiting Acrobat but the Windows Taskbar still states that there is an Acrobat.exe process open. I have tried using Marshal.ReleaseComObject(), but it still hangs there. I do not want to have to rely on the "End Process" option on the Task bar in order to remove it.
Below is a snippet of the code that I am try to using: Try 'Tries To Close Acrobat Application acrobatApp.Exit() System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(javaScriptObj) [Code] .....
Although I am not sure if this could be a problem - I run a javascript saveAs script on the Acrobat side in order to make a copy of the file. This also could be a reason why it is hanging, but I ruled it out based on basic knowledge of saving files and exiting from other Acrobat/Microsoft Programs. Acrobat only closes when my application ends. (Currently) I am trying to make it consider the case if a user manually closes the Acrobat application.
I am creating a project with VB2008 Express Edition. The end result will be a CD containing tech manuals in pdf format which will be accessed via various buttons on a form. I am going to include Acrobat Reader Redisributable on the CD which the user can install by pressing a button on the form if required. What I want to do is this:- When the user inserts the CD into the PC, the form will load.When the form loads, I want to search the users PC to determine if Acrobat Reader is installed.If the Acrobat Reader program is not found on the system, then display a MessageBox to inform the user to install the reader from the CD.Would this involve searching the users registry? I would need to insert in my Form1_Load sectionTarget systems would be Windows XP/ Vista with programs on the C: drive as default.
i use a windows application for data entry purpose. Data for the application is got from the PDF file which is viewed using alt+tab and when i move from the pdf file to application i need the page number of the PDF file when it was in last focus to be pasted in a text box in the application automatically.
How can I download a pdf and store to disk using vb.net or c#? The url (of the pdf) has some rediection going on before the final pdf is reached. I tried the below but the pdf seems corrupted when I attempt to open locally,
Dim PdfFile As FileStream = File.OpenWrite(saveTo) Dim PdfStream As MemoryStream = GetFileStream(pdfURL) PdfStream.WriteTo(PdfFile) PdfStream.Flush()
I have a .NET dll which I use from a C++ program. Now I have to register the dll programmatically on a deployment computer. How do i do that (programmatically! not using regasm)? I remember, when I once called a VB6 dll from a C++ dll, I had to use DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer. Is that still so with a .NET dll? It seems I have to somehow add the dllregisterserver function to the .NET dll.
I have a customer that needs to convert XLS files to XLSB. Has anyone done this programatically, (with or without an add-on --- doesn't matter --- just need to be able to automate it)? I'm looking for a way to automate this.
As a side note, the customer is asking about this because they use Sharepoint, and it seems it has a way to analyze XLSB files quicker and easier than XLS??? I'm working to improve my Sharepoint knowledge, but in the meantime, I'm trying to find an answer to this XLSB issue.
I'll try to make this simple, using VB.Net on Windows Vista:How do you change key bindings programatically?I'm thinking it has to do with the registry so if it does just give me the registry key names(i know how to change the registry already)If it helps, the reason I want to do this is to change the Windows media center button so that it opens my program rather than WMC.
I'm working on a script in vb.net windows application and I need to import a table from one access database into another access database. I wanted to know if this was possible to do w/ out having to create the table and then loop through all the records to insert them into the table? In other words, is there some method that will allow me to import the table dirrectly as it is?
I am reading values from a database (boolean) and if true, I want it to check a checkbox,and if false, keep the checkbox unchecked. The lines look like this: blEnergy.Items.FindByValue(1).Selected = track_usageIn this case, track_usage is a boolean value.This way does not actually create the check mark in the checkbox like I wanted it to. What is the best way to do this?
im trying to find a better way to end the application im working on right now programatically, sometimes a user simple wants to end it all and since in the properties of my project the program is set to only end after all forms have been closed, (oddly enough i close all forms and it still is executing so i use dispose method and then end) what would be the best way to end the application and free pc memory for everything attached to it? i use:
form1.dispose() form2.dispose() form3.dispose() me.dispose() End
as ive readed online, end simply stops the app and nothing else, which makes me think, does its data still persists in the ram? i want to clear everything and not leave useless resources anywhere.
I am trying to write a small app that searches the GAC for a dll. I have been trying to get this done but can't seem to find any resources online. I am using VS.Net 2008.
I have a form ( call it NewForm ) that can be opened from many other forms, but I don't want to have the user to run into the problem of having many windows/forms open.I want to close the calling form and open NewForm.NewForm will prompt the user for information, but if the user doesn't find what they are looking for I want to have a "Cancel" button on the form. With the "Cancel" button I want to go to the previous form.is there a way to tell which form called NewForm so I can just reopen/unhide that form/window.
My VB.NET (3.5) application generates Excel reports. Newer versions of Excel support the Office Open XML file format, while older versions don't.
I'd like my application to identify which version of Excel is installed on the local machine, and use a different method for generating the report (Newer versions: by generating an XML file. Older versions: by utilizing Excel Automation).
How can I identify the Excel version installed on the local machine?
Using <System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(GetType(System.ComponentModel.ExpandableObjectConverter))> _
on the declaration of a class (which is a property of another class) that consists of a number properties.
I load an instance of this class with simply ...
PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = oColumn
Obviously I don't want to manually build the propertygrid in code, I know how to do that.
But here's the problem. Depending on the value of a property, certain other properties should not be visible, as though I'd used the <System.ComponentModel.Browsable(False)> _
attribute on the property declaration.Is there anyway to do this programmatically, without having to handle all the building of the property grid manually>
If I have a form called index.aspx and I want to set the background colour programatically how do I do such a thing? Like if I wanted to set the pages background by calling a method called Changebackground? [code]
Is there a way to do it in c# or vb.net? I have to bring a system out of standby and play a notification sound if it is in standby mode, at specific time intervals.
