\useexternaldocument
by Otared Kavian 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi all, How can I open a PDF file from within a presentation? For example, assuming that the file intermezzo.pdf is present in the same directory, I thought I could say this \starttext \useexternaldocument[intermezzo.pdf] As one may see in the example \from[intermezzo.pdf] \stoptext But this does not work as I would expect. Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards: OK

about alignment in itemize
by Jeong Dalyoung 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Dear all, First, yesterday was the new year's day in Lunar calendar, and it is the biggest holiday in a year for us. So I'd like to say "Happy New Year!" again. I use the following code to list some items and avoid the overlapping (viii) and letters: \startitemize[r, broad][left={(},right={)},stopper=] \item it is a test lihe. \item it is a test lihe. \item it is a test lihe. \item it is a test lihe. \item it is a test lihe. \item it is a test lihe. \stopitemize In the output, the roman numerals left aligned. However, is it possible to make it right aligned as following? (iii) (iv) (v) (vI) (vii) Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Latest beta, simpleslides, and font loading
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

In the latest beta if I use the simplefonts module, the font database is regenerated at each run! For example, this file For example with this file: \usemodule [simplefonts][size=10pt] \setmainfont[Cambria] \setmathfont[Cambria] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext the font database is regenerated at each run. If I replace the simplefonts setup with \setupbodyfont[cambria,10pt] the database is not regenerated. Any idea what is going wrong? (In my actual document, I am using system fonts, I would like to use simpleslides module rather than write my own typescript). Aditya

JS in widgets still not working with mkiv
by Reviczky, Adam 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Dear Hans Everything I use around widgets works now, except JavaScript. Please find attached a minimal example (js.tex). I don't see any errors running mkiv and the PDF is generated, but when I enter for example "\'a" into the field I am expecting to get "á" (as you can see with mkii), but it just inserts the keys I pressed, eg. "\'a". I've attached two PDF's, one made with mkii and one with mkiv. The input with the mkii PDF works as expected, the mkiv PDF does not work like expected. Can you have a look at this? Best wishes Adam

These are not users in the system! > How and where are these variables acquired? texos is only used to guess the texmf-[texos]/bin path so, indeed, if you don't conform to the minimal structure it is not that meaningful anyhow, you have no configuration file in a known place so you can try to set it yourself (TEXMFCNF=path_to_your_cnffile) you cannot expect the minimals to work with arbitrary tree setups normally this problem is just a side effect of putting binaries in a spot that the SELF* variables cannot relate to you can have extra bins of course, for instance I have (as i need to test it): texmf-mswin texmf-mswin-new texmf-mswin-texlive and set up my console with: SET PATH=%MYTEXROOT%\texmf-mswin-live\bin;%PATH% SET PATH=%MYTEXROOT%\texmf-mswin\bin;%PATH% SET PATH=%MYTEXROOT%\texmf-mswin-new\bin;%PATH% so, the newest bins are taken first (under texroot are also the regular minimal paths as wel as texmf-mine that has some dev files) ... so there are plenty of ways to extend the minimals also, I have a couple of dev paths added to the regular paths and do that in a local extra texmfcnf.lua file (multiple files are supported) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

embedding swfs in pdfs
by Ian Lawrence 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Any experts out there - with access to code (or the ability to assemble such code) that can do what acropro ( advanced options) offers on embedding swfs? -load in swf at x,y location relative to a fixed 1026 by 768 px background -set size correctly (native size of swf) -set poster frame (provided at fixed location) -load in a folder or directory full of assets (several subfolders are involved) -set up the launch settings for the swf So needs more than InDesign CS5 currently offers. Not just loading in a freestanding swf movie clip. THX Ian
