The system I'm working with are receiving PDF documents, inside those documents there are two clickable images. The click events just triggers a http url. The thing is that I need to update those two url:s when I receive the document.
So my question is, is it possible to find the events and change the url and then save the file again? Those two images can be anywhere in the document so I can't look in a specific location.
Edit: I forgot to say that I'm coding in C# so it needs to be a .NET library.
Yes, it's possible.
It's hard to describe the way it can be achieved without knowing how PDFs are constructed (there are a few ways to create the described behavior) and tools you are going to use.
I just want to tell you how I solved this problem, or rather where I found the solution. I used the code in this thread, and it worked like a charm.

I have a document pdf or docx (only accepted formats for multiturn), this contains alot of subheadings which translate to follow up prompts. This all works fine! But I would like to enable context-only for all of my prompts, because the answers are not relevant out of context.
Can I denote this in my document itself? There are way too many too manually check the button.
I could write a script that changes the contextOnly to true on the exported tsv, but this seems like it is a silly workaround.
There does not seem to be any way to indicate whether a question is context-only through the document extraction process, so you will need to automate this with a script. If you don't want to modify the TSV directly, you can use the QnA REST API. You can also access this API through the Bot Framework CLI but I don't know if that makes anything more convenient for you.
To all whom are concerned:
My boss and I are on GitLab and we have problems trying to differentiate between dynamic PDF files.
Normally, for code files like C# class .cs files, it's easy to double-click and have GitLab highlight the changes made between two different versions.
However, we also create dynamic XFA/PDF files in Adobe LiveCycle and it's difficult to tell what has been changed at times, especially if the commit messages are not too specific or too vague. We know people suggested taking screenshots of the PDF between each version, but you can't diff text changes or format changes on image files.
We tried the program DiffPDF found here:
http://www.qtrac.eu/diffpdf.html
But we found out that it does not work with XFA/dynamic forms.
Does anyone have any suggestions on any possible programs that can diff the actual content on PDFs in GitLab?
Thank you for your time and future advice.
I will agree that it is hard to see what have been changed on a PDF, but if you instead look at the XDP-file you will be able to see what code have been changed.
If that is possible for you.
I need to edit LibreOffice Calc document programmatically in C++. I know that there is odfkit library, which uses webodf, but it looks like it doesn't support editing .ods files.
Is there any alternative that can deliver me this feature?
Libreoffice has API, called UNO, for controlling it from another process. So if you need something more complicated, that would be the simplest route.
If you just need some simple transformation, the other option is to unpack the file with plain old zip library (libzip, libarchive, ...) and modify the XML manually.
The opendocument site also mentions lpOD, but the web seems defunct and while search comes up with something that looks relevant, I am not sure whether there is anything usable.
see the SDK documentation, with many examples
I want to download a pdf file progressively in an iPad application. I m not sure how to do that and google wasn't very helpful. can anyone help me understand the concepts here please. I am planning to render in core graphics.
Thanks.
Do you mean you want to render pdf pages before download is completed? If yes:
First of all, PDF format initially was not designed for that.
Let me explain. PDF file consists of a number of objects and xref. xref is a table containing location (in bytes from the beginning) of every object withing the file, so objects may be located at random locations withing the file. Even worse, xref itself is located at the end of file, so you can't locate any object in the file until you download it.
So, PDF is designed for random access. Actually, HTTP protocol allows it, so if you really need it, you can try to implement it :)
Good news for you: starting from PDF-1.2 there is a special feature called "Linearized PDF". It is designed exactly for your task, so you can render the first page before the next one if downloaded. You can google around or check out pdf reference for more details. The most important thing: you have to linearize pdf file using special tools, so not every pdf file can be rendered progressively.
Bad news for you: looks like core graphics doesn't support. I didn't tried it actually, but I found nothing re linearized pdf in core graphics documentation. (Please let me know if you will find anything.) So you may need to render PDF manually.
Not entirely sure about for iPad, but doing a Save as... in Acrobat by default it will be optimized as Fast Web View, which allows downloads a page at a time instead of the whole document in one go.

Linearzied PDF will meet your needs. You need a capable reader such as the one from Adobe to utilize this feature.
I'm new to MODx, but am quite impressed with its power and flexibility. There's only one caveat, and I'm hoping it's just because I don't know any better.
I'm a frontend dev, and I'm used to building websites of all sizes. But I usually work with files and version control. How would I keep this paradigm with MODx?
From my poking around so far, the only way I found to use an IDE, is to keep static files with my code, to later on copy/paste into MODx Manager. Far from ideal.
I'm aware that a lot of people use an "include" snippet, to include snippets, chunks, etc. Does this work for MODx specific tags? For example, if I include a file as a snippet, and I have a template variable defined in there (or a resource link), would that be properly rendered?
Also, is there a performance hit using a snippet by including a file, vs having the snippet code entered into MODx Manager?
Bottom line, how do you develop sites on MODx? Where do you enter your code? Is there a feature like the "Import HTML" but for snippets and chunks? Is there a way to create new Templates, Documents, Chunks, TVs, etc. without going through the Manager?
Thanks in advance!
there is a whole documentation site for developing in modx, http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Home - though it mostly concerns extending it - not customization & modification. The short answer is no, there is no version control for your snippets & such, yes, you will have to maintain them manually. [I wish that was not the case]
Most of your php code will go into either a snippet or a plugin, and yes you can include static files in either of those resource types, no, I on't know if there is a performance gain/loss, but I would imagine "no" if your include is cache-able.
for the includes you can do something like this:
include_once $modx->config['base_path'].'_path_to_my.php_';

There is VersionX for revolution that will allow you version control of chunks, snippets, resources and so on.
There is package called Auditor that will allow you to implement version control in Modx
EDIT
Sorry just noticed your question is tagged Revolution, Auditor is for Evo. I don't think there's a solution available yet although I believe it is on the Roadmap
