According to Apple we should new build Thumbnail or Preview Extensions instead of the old Quick Look generators which will be deprecated (probably in Big Sur).
There is also no Option to create a Quick Look plug-in project in Xcode anymore. Instead you need to create an application that contains a quicklook extension target.
My question is: Can I not create a standalone Quick Look extension (or plug-in) anymore to preview files without a useless wrapper app that fulfils no purpose? Has anyone tried or found out if this is still an option?
Thank you.
I recently started using adobe XD and I got a link to a project that I am not a coworker of. But I still would like to import this project to make changes and have all the data available. So now I wonder how I can get the project into my adobe XD app on my pc with only the link?
You will not be able to edit the XD file from a shared link unless the one whom sent it to you makes it a coediting link (invites you to the cloud document itself), or sends you the actual XD file.
I am currently working on a project using the Expression Engine Framework, which as a c# developer is a little alien to me!
I am needing a pdf manipulation plugin for EE so that every PDF a client uploads has their profile's link appearing at the bottom (preferably clickable but not essential). I have had a look around but cannot find anything to help me. There is a watermarker in EE for images but not for PDFs which is annoying.
In C# we have Itextsharp which does the job perfectly - I wonder if I am going to have write a custom EE Extension to do the job for me.
Just wondered if anybody out there has ever had to do something similar and can point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks!
There are many ways to modify PDF's with PHP. See PDF Editing in PHP?

These are just libraries, so load one into the application and use it in your controller.
Here is the task: I would like my JavaScript code from different files to be compressed and concatenated into one file that is going to be used on a web page. The problem is that I'm pretty lazy :) and using some command line tools like, for instance, Apache Ant + YUICompressor each time I add a new line of code doesn't look attractive too me. Replacing uncompressed versions with a compressed final script before release is not a great option as well.
I know that such IDE as Eclipse allow to build project automatically after each update so it is possible to use already mentioned Apache Ant and YUICompressor in a build scenario to reach my goal. However Eclipse is too geeky for me, it's not that I can't figure out how to use it, I just don't feel comfortable using it. Maybe someone knows a good alternative (for Mac OS)?
PS. I hope I don't sound too capricious :) , after all having convenient tools is rather important for a programmer.
You can get a bundle for TextMate called JavaScript Tools that contain two built-in text compressors, available at http://andrewdupont.net/2006/10/01/javascript-tools-textmate-bundle/ . TextMate is available at http://macromates.com/ .
Anyone know of a wiki or wiki plugin that generates a PDF file or CHM file that spans the entire wiki?
I would like to have control of the table of contents.
I would like the internal and external links to work.
Ideally allow for tweaking the output template, but that is not a deal-breaker.
I want to generate content using WIKI syntax and mindset (lots of cross-links etc), but ship the content in PDF, CHM or an embedded application form. Something friendlier than installing the wiki software on the enduser machine...
XWiki does this out of the box.
The MediaWiki PDF Export extension allows you to select a group of PDF pages. I've not installed it yet, so unsure if it's easy to use that feature to select all the pages.
Confluence lets you choose pages when you export to PDF a space
But you can't customise a lot the PDF
You can customise it slightly through a theme (based on velocity)
Sphinx (https://www.sphinx-doc.org) is a fairly nice tool for generating HTML (or CHM) and PDF documentation, with wiki-like syntax. It is not a wiki; you can't edit through the web and generating HTML requires a build process. Still, it is pretty nice, with cross-references, fairly simple markup, and (in the HTML output) a search engine implemented in JavaScript with no server-side dependencies beyond static file hosting. Sphinx was developed for the new version of the Python documentation and is pretty themable; for example, the GeoServer project (which I work on, excuse the shameless plug) is using Sphinx with a custom theme for the new version of their user and developer manuals.
JIRA (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/default.jsp) is your geeky wet dream in terms of control; it exports to PDF (amongst other) and you can have complete control of pages, TOC and other aspects, although expect some complexity to set it up.
Microsoft has an HtmlHelp Authoring tool that can create chm files from html files.
If you need the help files both on the web and within deployed applications, generating the help from the same files used on the web could be a great solution. If the help site was created using asp.net (ie database driven) it might be worth using basic styles and creating a tool to generate html files by reading in the served out pages?
Have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524239(VS.85).aspx
I guess one could also additionally then create a PDF from the Html pages?
