I'm working on designing a workflow and the output is a XAML file, I need to store that file in SQL DataBase .. How can I do that? What do you think is the suitable extension to convert to?
I used Google to find this.
PRO TIP - Google is a search engine. You can use search engines to find things.

So as the question suggest I have an idml file along with a xliff file for translation. I'm using okapi rainbow application for translation purpose. But I'm having a hard time understanding how do I translate my idml file?
P.S - If anybody feels this question does not belong to programming section please move it to an appropriate section rather than downvoting. Thank you.
Also, i could not create new tags such as okapi or okapi-rainbow as I do not have the appropriate reputation.
Your question is not related to programming, but it may be relevant to everybody who develops software that is intended for users that speak different languages, so I will try to answer it here.
You mention that you have an IDML and an XLIFF file and you want to translate the IDML file. This approach does not really make sense: a typical translation workflow would be
extract translatables from native format (IDML in your case) into XLIFF
send XLIFF to a translator
get translated XLIFF back
import translated XLIFF into native format
do post-translation processing (adapt fonts, resize text boxes, update tables of content, to name just a few)
Okapi Rainbow is a tool that you can use for steps 1 and 4 in the process above. It will not perform automatic translation for you.
Actually the first thing you should do is ask your translator if he can process IDML. Some translation environments have built-in support for IDML, in which case you don't have to bother with providing XLIFF.
It might be a bit off-topic here.
I'm not sure how to get from IDML to XLIFF, but maybe there is a filter.
But if you got the XLIFF, you can just use OmegaT to translate it.
Or pretty much any other professional Translation Tool like e.g. SDL Trados.
I have a project from my lecture to create a web apps to read and analyze a pdf file based on keywords. What kind of programming language that I can use?
Example : I need to find or check some keywords or data on the pdf file. If the keyword or data is exist and available, the result is true.
I usually work in javascript so could answer you in that, I had a great help from the below conversation, it might be a good help for you too.
extract text from pdf in Javascript
I´m evaluating in using YII framework for an application. This app has 2 requirements very important. First is Reporting. I have to make a lot of Reports and subreports. The Second is that reports have to be exported to word, pdf and xls.
I understand that PHP is not very friendly with reporting tools. I think the best could be Jasper Reports?. But that tool can help me with that 2 points?
Have you use reporting tools with advance reports in php? could you give me an advice?
Thanks.
I am working on JasperReports for the last few months. Its extremely user friendly. The 2 points which you mentioned are very well covered in Jasper. You can do 'n' number of reports, subreports, adhocs, olaps,charts and many more. Exporting options are great. There are around 11 formats in which you can export the reports. I have not used yii or any other reporting tool. For reporting and advanced reporting options, Jasperreports works brilliant. You may want to check out this link for more information.
I am doing a Yii project at the moment. I have not used a great deal of reporting tools, and have not checked out Jasper yet.
But for excel the best reporting tool I have found has been PHPExcel. I extended the factory and built my own code around it to work with my data.
Also if you want to report into MS Word, it might be easier to write your data to RTF files.
I have found PDF's and Text/Word Documents tend to not be too flash for reporting. Excel seems to be the most useful so far. I use PHPExcel with both openoffice on linux and MS Excel and I write all my own reports.

Jasper Reports is a great tool for reporting but it require Java and the integration with PHP require the Java bridge which may not be accessible specially in shared hosting, a good alternative is PHPJasperXML, which takes Jasper Reports and render them on PHP natively, also it exports to PDF and Excel.
I don't know if it could help but exists https://github.com/cossou/JasperPHP in the Laravel framework, somebody could adapt it for Yii2 and use it with composer.
Anyone know of a good solution for pdf generation (preferably with a visual layout tool) that I can use from ColdFusion instead of the CF Report Builder? It should be able to accept cfquery input.
Basically is there anything better than the crusty Adobe offering out there?
EDIT: With CF 11 and the "pixel-to-pixel" rendering of "most" CSS and HTML (see https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/PDF+Generation+in+ColdFusion+11), I wonder if anyone has attempted to do anything along the lines of 'normal reports', like page numbering, page breaks, etc. - the more traditional 8.5"x11" oriented features. I'm a bit leery of trying to just do a drop-in replacement for CF Report Builder for this reason, knowing that HTML has no concept (in the browser) of discrete pages and page breaks.
obviously you can use cfdocument to what you want, but good luck getting it to look decent. however if you want to go down the route where you generate html using CFML and then have that outputted to a pdf, you can use wkhtmltopdf. If you want a report builder type application, you can use Jaspersoft Studio. BTW ACF's reporting engine is jasper reports under the hood.
Jasper reports is an alternative that Railo folks use, you could give that a try.
I don't think so. The closest thing I am aware of is DreamWeaver. It's been a while but I believe with a Remote Development Service (RDS) password you can build a full dynamic report using the WYSIWYG design view. Add CFDocument tags around it and you have a pdf report. I believe using CFDocument with HTML / CSS is what most developers use in lieu of Report Builder. I could be wrong but I've only seen it used once and judging by the lack of search results, I don't think it was received as well as it was hoped.
Of course you could always use crystal reports and continue using CFReport that way.
If you're using SQL Server you could get away with using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
is there an open source solution that displays PDFs for online reading? It has to be searchable much like google books and if possible has the ability to display annotations?
By "online reading" I'll assume you mean without a PDF reader plugin on the client. In that case you'll need to convert to HTML
http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/
If you don't mind losing the ability to copy text then converting to PNG may give you a more accurate rendering
http://www.imagemagick.org/
Regardless of the output format you can manage your searching using the original PDF data. One technology for this is mnogosearch
http://www.mnogosearch.org/
Monogosearch uses pdftotext internally, you may find this useful if you want to write your own search routines. pdftotext is part of the Xpdf suite of utilities
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/about.html
All of the tools listed above are available on Windows or Linux
You may also be interested in the Vuzit DocuPub Platform: http://vuzit.com/products/docupub_platform
The display technology itself is not open source, but they provide an API to access their service, so perhaps it is worth investigating.
Don't know if you are looking a software to install or some service to pay for...
I've read a lot about www.getbackboard.com (this is not advertising, only reporting something I've read about, that maybe fits your needs.. ;)
Not sure if they do annotations, but both of these will show PDFs quite well:
http://pdfmenot.com
http://docs.google.com
ICEPdf recently released their code as open source. It is Java based.
PyPdf is really nice. It supports reading the text as well as encryption which I know that itextsharp does not.
Of course you'd have to program in python as IronPython's class libraries aren't quite to the point where you can ref them from another language and use them. (But I imagine they will be someday soon)
PyPdf
This is not open source, but check it out anyways. You can download a free trial of their SDK to try it out. Reading PDF's and their annotations is not simple and I wouldn't trust a production app to open source decoders.
Here is an online demo.

Another good pdf reader is FoxitReader.
