Hey, guys, I'm trying to recompile an .as file to make it unicode-friendly (it produces pdfs)

Based on the discussion here :
http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/4498/table-tools-pdf-add-style-at-least-bold-and-italic/p1

I downloaded the opensource Flex sdk but I get this error :

Code:

E:\as3>bin\mxmlc.exe --target-player=10.0.0 -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true -library-path+=lib ZeroClipboardPdf.as
Loading configuration file E:\as3\frameworks\flex-config.xml
E:\as3\ZeroClipboardPdf.as: Error: A file found in a source-path 'ZeroClipboardPdf' must have the same name as the class definition inside the file 'ZeroClipboard'.

If you can figure it out and recompile, I will owe you a debt of blood. Virgin blood.

ZeroClipboardPdf.as must contain a class called ZeroClipboardPdf or you have to rename it to ZeroClipboard.as Smile

Perhaps there's a compiler flag that'll let you override this (or perhaps it should just be compiled for a lower SDK version), but the easiest way is to just have both in separate folders, same name and have different output targets. So create a directory "pdf", move the Pdf.as in there and rename it to ZeroClipboard.as and compile it using a -o switch.

Here's a Makefile I just quickly used to test:

Code:

MXMLC = "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/3.6.0/bin/mxmlc"

all:
$(MXMLC) --target-player=10.0.0 ZeroClipboard.as
$(MXMLC) --target-player=10.0.0 -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true -library-path+=lib -o ZeroClipboardPdf.swf pdf/ZeroClipboard.as

Want me to upload the recompiled files for you?

Just renaming it worked, thanks Very Happy

But now I need to figure out what to change so that pdf export works properly with unicode. It is using that alivepdf thingy. Check here :

Now I can export a Japense supported pdf by using UnicodePDF class.

Any ideas on what to change ?

Line 18: import UnicodePDF instead of PDF (same namespace) Then in the rest of file, replace all references to the PDF class with UnicodePDF; quickest method is to just do two text-replacements: - replace ":PDF" with ":UnicodePDF" (this is the type declaration for variables and return value for methods) - replace "PDF(" with "UnicodePDF(" Without quotes, obviously The two classes have identical interfaces so it should be perfectly fine to exchange them

Thanks again, I changed it successfully and still my own language's characters appear garbled. Tried a couple of the other core fonts, too. Well, SHIT. These character bullshit problems just get on my nerves, seriously. I'm stuck.

Well, PDF is a fucked up format to work with anyway; can you send me a result PDF? I'll have a look through its source, see if it's generated as UTF-8 properly. Unfortunately I know PDF's internals quite well (my graduation project involved it as well as JDF). It truly is a huge fucking mess inside, and extremely easy to fuck up Join in on the war on LeoSatan
