How to work with PDF parameters

Do you knew that is possible work with PDF parameters?

These parameters allow you to open a PDF file using a URL  that specifies exactly what to display, and how to display it (using such characteristics as zoom, page numbers, scrollbars, toolbars, bookmarks, or search).

Let’s see some URL examples:

  • www.example.org/doc.pdf#Chapter6
  • www.example.org/doc.pdf#page=3
  • www.example.org/doc.pdf#page=3&zoom=75
  • www.example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50
  • www.example.org/doc.pdf#page=72&toolbars=0

However we have some URL limitations:

  • Only one digit following a decimal point is retained for float values.
  • Individual parameters, together with their values (separated by & or #), can be no greater then 32 characters in length.
  • You cannot use the reserved characters =, #, and &. There is no way to escape these special characters.
  • If you turn bookmarks off using a URL parameter when a document had previously been saved with bookmarks on, the bookmark scrollbars are displayed at first, and only disappear once Acrobat obtains enough streamed information to render the full page.

The parameters for URLs are supported by most browsers.

For more informations and examples take a look at the official Adobe™ document how to work with parameters for PDF Files.

Moby – Mistake

“New Single From Moby 2009″

Mistake

Don’t speak to me this way
Don’t ever let me say
Don’t leave me again [x2]

I never felt this loss before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more[x2]

Don’t hug me this way
Don’t touch me this way
Don’t hug me again [x2]

Don’t hug me this way
Don’t touch me this way
Don’t hug me this again [x2]

I never felt this loss before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more
Don’t let me make the same mistake again
Please, don’t let me make the same mistake again
Don’t let me make the same mistake again

I never felt this loss before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more
Please, Don’t let me make the same mistake again [x2]

Windows 7: Primeira impressão.

Windows 7Hoje recebi, depois de algum tempo de espera, meu Windows 7.

Depois de alguns minutos de actualização, eis que já uso o novo SO da Microsoft e estou extremamente surpreso com o mesmo.

O Windows 7 tem uma interface gráfica agradável, inicialização rápida, detectou todo meu hardware e não foi preciso reinstalar nenhum software.

Mesmo assim, ainda não largo meu Ubuntu 9.10. Nele encontro um melhor ambiente para desenvolvimento e uma excelente performance.

Depois da tempestade

- Filho, acorda!

É manhã, levanto e vejo que a tempestade já passou.

As vezes me pergunto porque estive a dormir por tanto tempo.

Agora sei o que devo fazer… É hora de caminhar em paz.
