Re: Resolution of PDF in player object

2015-05-26 Thread Scott Rossi
This probably doesn¹t help you, but in years gone by, my experience when using a player to view a PDF resulted in the content being displayed as a bitmap image, regardless of the type of content. So enlarging beyond 100% would often appear pixelated. I never encountered a player-viewed PDF displa

Hmm. If you're watching for the keypress itself so that you can act, and your send loop is tight enough (without causing too much lag) You could just check the keysdown() each loop and see if alt-f is being pressed. If the purpose is to use control keys to run another app, I'd say it depends. On

Resolution of PDF in player object

2015-05-26 Thread David Epstein
In the past, when I displayed a PDF in a player object on my PowerPC Mac Mini, I could scale it to, say, 1.5x the formattedWidth and formattedHeight, and see it beautifully displayed at full resolution. On my newer MacBook Air and iMac this is not true; the PDF looks terrible when scaled to any

One way would be to use a send in time loop. Check to see if the data in the clipboard array is different, if so, act. Some untested quick and dirty code follows. command checkClipboard if sLastClipA is empty then put the clipboarddata into sLastClipA -- do something with the data in sLastClipA

Depending on what information you need to collect, there is another way - see pragma table_info on the sqlite web site.
