Add page to PDF file using Powershell - powershell

I'm new here i don't have much experience in programming, except VBA.
I'm looking for an automated solution to merge pdf files. I don't even know if that's possible, i guess though. I was thinking about using the powershell to do that.
Immaging having a "file_1.pdf" (2 pages) and a "file_2.pdf" (1 page). The result should be a "file_3.pdf" containing all three pages. The page of the "file_2.pdf" should be insertet after the last page of "file_1.pdf".
Thanks in advance guys!

I found a solution for this:
I used the toolkit "pdftk server" from pdflabs
pdflabs toolkit server
Works like a charm

joomla accordion module with sortable headings

I have an issue with Joomla I've been battling with for a while now and I can't seem to see the answer. So I was hoping maybe someone out there might be able to help. First post so go easy on me.
I'm in the process of making a portfolio website for myself and can't seem to get my head around the SP_accordion module I'm using. I have it working and everything displaying everything it should and how it should.
I need, or should I say I also would like it to have a "header" with 3 columns that only effect the un-expanded accordion and are "sortable".
A perfect example of what I would like can be found #Jkarch.at
I have found an abundence of code for accordions and plenty of modules for joomla but I can't for the life of me find any help to create a 3 column accordion module for joomla 3. I'm not the most brilliant at web based applications or coding but I believe I can and usually do figure the most out myself but this is kicking my A*S.
So if anyone has a spare minute or to help it would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks again...
Chris.

Creating Notebooks, Sections and Pages in OneNote with Powershell..beginner's perspective

Apologies, a fairly broad request eith little to offer. I would like to be able to create sections and page in onenote from a list, say in excel, using Powershell.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Not sure if this is still current enough to work properly without knowing what version of Powershell you are running, but here are a few pages that could help you out.

http://bdewey.com/2007/07/18/onenote-powershell-provider/
Essentially this gives you a OneNote provider that would let you navigate and create One-Note notebooks and pages as you would with any other powershell provider. Could help you out with what you are doing.

how to generate pdf in GXT/GWT?

i am using GWT/EXTGWT. on click of submit button i get list of records from db. i need to export them to pdf. please suggest me how to do this?
if data to be exported is more then that should be exported to multiple pages.
Thanks!
There's little in context of GWT here, apart from the fact that you have a GWT based application. What you are really looking for is a tool that generates PDF, given data.
There are hosts of them available :
iText
jPDF Writer...
Obviously, iText has been the most widely known and successful one! Here's a good tutorial - http://www.vogella.de/articles/JavaPDF/article.html
Try some tools like itext pdf generator Searching online will give you many more options.

Extremely simple content updating tool for websites - CMS? PHP forms? Suggestions please!

As a side project I tutor grandparents and other computer novices in Computer & Internet 101, from physically using a mouse to dealing with e-mail/searching/etc. Web development isn't really my area of focus - I do have reasonable HTML/CSS/Javascript etc skills, so I can throw together a decent-looking simple, static site - but occasionally I get asked to put together extremely simple websites for these people, that they can update themselves; that is, edit text-based content without giving Grandpa a heart attack by making him come face-to-face with HTML/Javascript.
I've waded through a mile-long list of CMS software - largely culled from the many other similar questions on SO - but they've all got something ruling it out: hosted, restricts the design (can't use w/existing CSS, looks "Word-press-y", etc), not free/FOSS, etc. I wonder if "CMS" is even the right word for what I'm looking for. What I need is a simple text editor for the client: that is, something that will give the client a text box of some variety, let them edit it, and update the content with that info. They can't mess with navigation, add new pages, change anything other than text. If it was really fancy, they could upload a picture.
I was planning to do this just with a couple of password-protected php forms, but thought I'd ask if there's anything already out there that might provide this functionality? Any suggestions on building my own version of this, in PHP or something else?
What I'm really interested in is:
1) the simplicity/customize-ability of the admin interface (or lack of admin interface, if the client could somehow edit directly in the page), and
2) ease of set up for me (not getting paid much if at all for this, don't want to wade through three million plugin options to figure out how to get some unwieldy, high learning-curve framework to do what I want).
Try pulsecms.
Here is another very simple CMS that has JQuery and modernizr , HTML5 Boilerplate and TinyMCE.
I have my wife setup with Windows LiveWriter
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-writer?os=other
This means that she just builds her articles as if she is using a word processor (almost exactly the same) and then just uploads the article to her blog. I use Blogengine.net to host the blog on a Godaddy hosting solution.
Blogengine comes with built in support for LiveWriter and only required that you input the address, username and password in.
I understand this is an old post, but i hope someone find this of interest.
You could give the users the instruction to upload text files to the site, and the have the HTLM/PHP/ASP pages load the context of such .ts files.
Each web page should have a specific named .txt file associated.

Access to hyperlink in a pdf(iPhone)?

I am working on a small app, which can open a pdf. My question is, if it is possible to access a hyperlink from a pdf? Because when am trying to click on hyperlink nothing is happening and it's not redirecting me to the link. I tried searching a lot but didn't got any luck on this. Am expecting a quick response as my work is getting delayed because of this issue. If it's possible then what would be the approach? Right now am using UIWebView to open the pdf. Any sample app or code will be of great help.
Thanks for your time .
The only way I know is to use a third party library (or perhaps parse the PDF yourself), find the links, get their rects and catch user taps and compare that to the list of link/hyperlinks/gotos for that particular page.
Unfortunatelly - nothing in the SDK that can help. You can search for a opensource pdf library, like muPDF for instance.
There is a reason why not many applications have that functionality :D
