I'm trying to customize the CTA section with new images and the support documentation for Austin Night says you're supposed to customize images within the JSON files. I uploaded some images to the image manager but now I'm unsure of where to copy over the new image file within the coding - So I need help knowing where exactly I do this and what part of the image URL is supposed to copy over the default image text. Thanks!
I've uploaded images to the Image Manager and I've copied various parts of the image URL to replace the theme's default images, but nothing seems to work. I've been working within the en.JSON homepage file and I even tried to change the image within the OB Custom images file all in Stencil File Editor, since the theme documentation doesn't give much description on what to do exactly besides to customize in the JSON file.
A website I am attempting to scrape information off has decided to use a custom font that means all information in the code is a jumble of letters. For example: "aEfrg9" could look like "Booked" when under the use of the font. How could I scrape such a webpage?
My thoughts:
Download font from page
Somehow translate information I'm looking for into the code message font, eg. I want to find "guitar" in the webpage so my program translates it to "hGke8j" using the font file downloaded.
How would I achieve step 2?
I am using Python 3.X
I want to genrate a thumbnails of image without save its differentlty
ImageResizer supports resizing images and it can output the thumbnail to a stream (for example a MemoryStream), so you don't have to save the image on disk. It has a very good support for ASP.NET and it can be installed using NuGet.
I want to export a few Pages to pdf/xls. By Pages I mean as the eye sees it - a screenshot of the Page's contents. I know how to build pdf/xls documents using 3rd party tools but is there any way to quickly export the rendered contents of say a Panel?
edit: maybe a tool that can render the page's output as a browser would, and save it as an image file?
There is an open source console program named wkhtmltopdf which you could call from asp.net to convert the page. It can convert to PDF or an image with wkhtmltoimage (JPG, PNG, etc.) using the webkit rendering engine.

Can someone point me to some code/tutorial on how to upload pdf files and store them, then moreover how to use a pdf reader to display the file as read only in an asp.net application.
Is there a PDF reader already in the visual studio toolbox?
The approach I would use in this situation is to upload the PDF as you would any other file, then use a tool like GhostScript to convert the PDF pages into image files that you can show in ASP .Net.
Here's a tutorial doing that in C# http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/GhostScriptUseWithCSharp.aspx
Adobe provides (on acrobat.com) a free service which provides you with the ability to upload pdf (and also other types like doc...) and then embed a nice flash interface for displaying the files on your page.
It's pretty helpful as you can store some 5 gigs of files here.
But if you want to let the users upload their own files then this won't help you.
PDF is a final format file, ie its is read-only for the most part and can be embedded into the page via the <object> tag, except if you mean downloadable by the user.
Displaying PDF is generally done by rasterising to an image format for display (ie as an image on the page or via a richer interface (with zooming etc) through flash/silverlight etc.
You can use [GhostScript][1] to interpret PDF files and convert them to an image.

Uploading a PDF is just like any other file. Use the ASP.NET file uploader control:

In order to view the PDF in an ASP.NET application, you could either depend on Acrobat being there or use a PDF Viewer control.
The company I work for, Atalasoft, sells a PDF Reader add-on to our web viewer controls. You can learn more here: http://www.atalasoft.com/products/dotimage/pdf-reader
