    Java - Creating PDF from template

    Ended up using a docx saved as an XML... Did some figuring out of how a page is displayed as XML, and just iterated that a bunch of times, and replaced the special spots with String manipulation. Worked well enough. Thanks for your help!

    Java - Creating PDF from template

    AlienKing, that sounds exactly like what I want... Do you know of any Java packages that do it? iText seems like it would, but I can't find too many examples. It'll fill out a PDF form, and flatten them, but the final document still looks like it was a form.

    Java - Creating PDF from template

    I have not... I'll look into this... thanks! The option I started looking into was saving the Word 2010 file into .xml and manually parsing the XML for the pages... every page other than the first and last are very easy to distinguish and play with. This might be a better solution...

    Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L refusing to boot with other video cards

    Enermax MODU 82+... 525w, I think. Playing the game (The Sims 3, don't judge :p) right now (hasn't locked up yet), with Riva Tuner running on the other monitor. Heres what I get: Core Temperature: Bouncing from 78C to 86C... Mainly around 81-82C Ambient Temp: 66C... Pretty stable. Core...

    Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L refusing to boot with other video cards

    Weird... The video card I had before this one was also external powered, and complained to me about it when it got into Windows... never had one scream at me. Reformatted Windows, so the driver installed is clean. I can't get the computer to boot on any video card other than my 8800 GTS (Be...

    Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L refusing to boot with other video cards

    Hey guys, I've got a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L (pretty sure revision 1 since I'm not seeing a revision number on it) with a C2D E4300, 2x 2gb GSkill DDR2 800 mhz, and a eVGA Geforce 8800 GTS 640mb. Lately, whenever I'm playing games, the computer will run great for a while, and then hardlock...

    Code Repository/Check-in/Check-out system

    Walk-through worked perfectly, thank you! Would I be able to do check-out on a folder currently containing files? I've got a website in IIS I'd like to run this against.... will this only work on new projects or would be able to "check out" the IIS folder?

    Code Repository/Check-in/Check-out system

    I've downloaded it and have been playing with it... Its not quite as simple as I thought it'd be... Like, I made a repository, but I'm not sure how to make Tortoise SVN monitor a certain folder of files and then check-out/check-in files. Granted, I could also be a giant noob. :)

    Code Repository/Check-in/Check-out system

    I did indeed... I was Googling for "Code Repository" when I should have been googling for "SVN". Thanks for the Subversion suggestion, I'll look into it.

    Code Repository/Check-in/Check-out system

    Hey guys, The company I'm working for has grown a lot and now I'm no longer the only programmer. We're looking for an app that lets us do code check-in/check-out that'll also store all the changes. All the files we need monitored are plaintext, and we do most of our development in Notepad...

    Little PHP Problem

    Oi, thanks. I'm programming in ASP VBScript for work (which uses &), programming Java for class (+ as he stated), and my side projects are PHP (http://www.gatorschedule.net... a course catalog search for the University of Florida). My brain uses the wrong syntax in all 3 :(

    Little PHP Problem

    Your code is never actually getting the data from the forms: $message="$subject, $detail, $name, $phone, $customer_mail"; Will correctly parse the $subject, $detail, $name, $phone, and $customer_mail into the string, as requested... but given your code, your never actually getting that data...

    Word Document Modularizing/Hotlinking

    We have a whole bunch of Word documents here that have a lot of redundacy between them. My boss wants to make the redundant parts a seperate Word document and then have each individual doc link back to it. Thats a pretty simple process do in Word, but the problem comes from the fact that they...

    Think Your Corporate Password Policy Sucks? Try 18770 Characters

    Eh.. If they have all the hashes already worked out, theres no difference between 13 chars and 6 chars. If they're doing brute force on the fly, then maybe you have a case.

    Avivo HD Vs Purevideo HD

    Yea, I agree here. The nVidia BMP's look better to me... I prefer the more vibrant colors over the "dullness" of the ATI ones... The skin tones look better to me, imo.

    Ok build me a server.... :)

    So you can place emphasis on the parts necessary... If its just a storage server, you don't need a high end mobo or CPU, or, necessarily a fast hard drive or drives. Conversely, if its a DB server, you need loads of RAM, a fast CPU, and a decently fast hard drive or drives. If you just...

    UPS: Power Computer Back On

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for a UPS for the rig in my signature... Basically, I need it to safely shut down the computer (that parts pretty easy for modern UPS's)... but the kicker is, I need it to turn it on, too. Is there any out there that do that?

    Steve Jobs Tops "Most Powerful" List

    *cough* Jobs was part of the reason Apple almost went belly up way the hell back then. Apple fired him... He went on a sabbatical for a few years (apparently worked for him), and got rehired. The biggest test for Jobs will be what happens to Apple when he retires... Will Apple stand on...

    HTPC w/ 8800 GTS -- Need SLI

    Hey everyone... I've got an 8800 GTS right now in my HTPC, running @ 1080p. And the rig is beautiful. But now I'm thinking of adding SLI... And doing some quick reading around here, not too many of the nVidia 6xx SLI chipsets seem to be recommended. I've got a Core2Duo E6300 and 2 gb of...

    Take-two proposes Hot Coffee Settlement

    Email server with new email notification

    From what I understand, Fetchmail is just a mailforwarder? The email server I'm already tinkering with does that, no problems... but my boss (if possible... and he knows it is since apparently one of his other accounts does it) wants the email to stay on our server, and just have an email...

    Email server with new email notification

    The place I'm working at has me setting up an email server... Which is cool and all. But the kicker is that they want an email sent to another email address when the email address I set up gets an email. Basically, if I set up email address x, they want x to email address y when x gets an...

    Jack Thompson Threatens Microsoft

    Why do people think its the MANUFACTURERS responsibility to ensure that the ratings system is enforced? Its not like MS is directly selling this shit to kids... Blame the retailers not enforcing this crap, not the people making it.
