I need some information and guidance on setup and configuring Alfresco ; my goal is to print directly to Alfresco with a PDF printer to output directly or a raw file. I need that to be consumed by Alfresco - stored and a listing - each one to be signed digitally and then after signature a print out to a physical printer.
Win2PDF has a plug-in interface that could be used with a custom plug-in to automatically upload a PDF created by the Win2PDF Printer to Alfresco. You would have to write the plug-in using the Alfresco API to upload the document, but some example plug-ins showing uploads to other services like AWS S3 are provided in github.

I'm working on a web site using Forge Design Automation for AutoCAD, and I'd like to have a .zip file returned. Does the .zip file have to go back to a URL (folder) located in site, or can it be downloaded directly to my view (MVC) through the controller? And, if it can come back to the view, how do provide arguments to my workitem?
Thank you.
The Design Automation will want to PUT/POST the resulting zip file somewhere. So you must supply a resource (URL) that can be operated on by one of those verbs.
Your website then can offer up the same resource to download to your clients. Clients cannot download directly from Design Automation as there's no HTTP resource that they could GET.
We can take advantage of the Forge OSS signed resource with read/write permission, so that Design Automation API will put the file to the Forge OSS bucket, and we can use the sample link to download the file. Please check my sample here. Although it's a Revit sample, the signed resource part can be applied to Design Automation API for AutoCAD, too.

I've been searching for weeks on stackoverflow and google, but I wasn't able to find any good results.
I have a pdf file on my computer and I want to access that pdf file from an ios app, by clicking a link which will take me to that pdf file.
And when I modify that pdf file on my computer I want the link in the app to update with the latest version of that pdf file.
I thought of using a backend for storage such as Firebase storage but I had some issues with that.
How can I access that pdf file from an app? It doesn't have to be through a link, anything that will allow access with the latest version of the file is fine.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thank You
The simplest way may be using a cloud storage such as Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive...etc and get the public share link to that file. Then you can load the PDF in your iOS app using this link.
You can do this using web services API, You need to create simple webservice in backend (in any language for example PHP) to get the list of file with path to access in mobile app, and configure backend webservice code to your server (your computer, wherever you want to update files), So you can get every time updated data (files path) using webservice.
Assuming I have an app on iOS that generates a data file, and I would like the user the ability to import/export that file, how is that best done?
Import from email in xcode/objc:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/1980/email-tutorial-for-ios-how-to-import-and-export-app-data-via-email-in-your-ios-app
Is this possible in Delphi? (i.e. register an ios app as file handler for a specifc file type)
(I am planning on handling export through generating an email attaching a file? I suspect this is probably possible although if anyone knows for sure, feel free to share)
It has been asked why import/export across email is useful.
Because legally EU/US law and cloud storage is difficult with personal data
You don't need any desktop computers
You can sync data between ios and android apps if user changes mobile
You are not bound to any specific cloud provider or anything similar
Quote from above article where author explains where the file path is passed to the app:
application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, passing the URL in the
UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey, or via application:handleOpenURL.
But since I have not used Delphi for ages (for mobile), I would just like to know for sure if Delphi supports this or not before buying a new version
You can send files using email. I use the email component from D.P.F Delphi iOS Native Components to send file attachments using email. I don't see any reason why you should not be able to send your data file as long as it is not too big. Use a file extension that is unique to your app.
You could also use iTunes filesharing in order to give your users direct access to your data file. Just set the UIFileSharingEnabled key in your info.plist and store you data file inside of the documents folder. This does require a desktop PC, but it is still a very nice addition to sending backups by email.
Depending on your needs,
I would suggest looking at perhaps saving the file to a server using FTP and Indy and then on the other device you can retrieve it?
http://www.delphipages.com/forum/showthread.php?t=208397
Set the TidFTP connection parameters
Do a FTP put : // ftp.Put('testfile.txt');
Perhaps have a Database with a column that you specify a file version etc
Do a simple Get request if you want to retrive the file with the filename
or Alternatively you can save it to a blob field in a DB and have the other device read the blobfield if you don't want to do it via FTP
I'd like to give our business team the ability to edit certain pages and content themselves via a CMS solution in our grails application, and Weceem plugin seems like a good choice.
The potential showstopper I see is that is uses the local server file system for uploaded content, which is no good in a horizontally scaled cloud environment like ours (we run in AWS).
Question is, is it possible to tell Weceem to use the database to store binary/uploaded content, or (better yet) override the content upload handlers to use Amazon S3 instead of the file system (we already have code that uploads to S3 in our main app, so the question is just how to hook into Weceem)
I assume that in such situation its possible to create your own content type (domain class) in your app that stores binary uploaded content. This class should be a subclass of org.weceem.content.WcmContent class. In weceem you can check a small example for storing such content, see org.weceem.files.WcmContentFileDB class Also, here there is an information how to extend plugin with custom content type. I hope the information can be helpful.
As for uploading: in Weceem we use CKeditor plugin for uploading additional files/resources, also org.weceem.files.WcmContentFile is used, it stores files on file system, the files are uploaded using paths provided with org.weceem.services.WcmContentRepositoryService.getUploadPath(...) method. This path is calculated from configuration property that is provided in application config (e.g. 'weceem.upload.dir'). Not sure that you can hook here.
I hava a Ruby on Rails application that works with video playlists. Now I would like to extract timecode information from the video file without uploading it to the server (takes to long). Is the possible?
If it is not possible, is there a way to export te metadata locally and uploads these xmls (for example) to the server?
Thanks in advance
afaik, this is not possible in browsers that do not support File API. Take a look at jquery file upload and the way it allows user to identify the file extension before upload.
