Just about everything I've done for the past month, and everything for the next month will be about PDF Stamps. It's stamp this and stamp that, its stamp time at www.pdfscripting.com.
Now you might be wondering how I could spend so much time developing material on stamps. They are pretty darn useful, and an essential part of just about any document, but is there really that much to know about something as seemingly simple as a stamp?
I've written a couple of blogs and articles about the pitfalls and proper technique of copying other peoples code, especially when you don't know what you're doing. But I've always been remiss in that I failed to mention the most common problem of all. Really the root problem of them all. The one that's so obvious that we all forget about it. It's the elephant in the room.
Ok, I know it's been a really long time since my last post. There were some problems with the system. Lots of spam and a change over in website technology that put me off. So give me some slack. But its now time to get back in the saddle. There are so many cool things that have happened over the last year. And I'm going to start off with a useful little tidbit.
Normally I only attend and speak and speak at just Acrobat and PDF conferences. That's not because I'm a conference snob. It's just a matter of practicality. In the past there were just too many conferences deal with and I figured it was better to go where people would already know what I was talking about. But this year I'm branching out.
I just want to say a few words about code reuse. Copying and pasting JavaScript code from the forums, articles, and sample docs available on this site as well as others is probably the most popular usage model. Let's face it, most people are not professional programmers, and after all, that's what those scripts are there for.
Anyway, it was a great conference. Lots of good sessions and the attendees seemed really involved. I gave two great sessions, one on automating Acrobat, and one on scripting the new Rich Media Annotation. Of course my topics are always about programming and a bit on the super nerd end of things. Which isn't normally a problem, but unfortunately Ted Padova (PDF Bible author) was there. Ted always steals my audience. He's so popular that during his key note normally mild manored office administrators were ripping thier shirts off and jumping on stage!! You know, fillable forms really get people excited. Go to the web site and see the pictures. And I shouldn't be saying this, but all of the session matierials from the conference are availible for download on the session description page. This is a wealth of info they are giving away for free. If you don't do the web site to see admins gone wild, then go for the free downloads (www.pdfcentralconference.com)
Ok, maybe I exagerated about the admins;)
Now Back to work.
