Looking for source of aviation navaids to use in an application - database

I am looking for a source of navaids and fixes for an aviation application I am working on. I have tried https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/aero_data/loc_id_search/fixes_waypoints/ and https://www.openaip.net/navaids?field_openaip_navaid_type_value_many_to_one=2&title=&field_openaip_navaid_id_value=&field_openaip_navaid_country_value_many_to_one=237 but neither of them seem to provide a list of these items. I was able to get a list of airports and runways from the FAA site and am wondering if I have to pay for access to navaids.

How to do a search & replace of Link Properties within a PDF using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

I am attempting to find an elegant solution to an issue for another department within my agency, and I am hoping somebody can provide me with a path to discovering the right solution.
The problem: The user currently has large number of links which (A) deliver the user to a page within the document, and then (B) open a web link. The Link Properties are currently as follows:
There are a large number of links within this document which point to the same place (frustratingly, this is simply how they've decided to do it, and there is no swaying them in that regard), and many times, the text pointing to the link is different (i.e. "visit this link" and "refer to form 10-a for more info" both point to the same URL).
What I would like to do for them is provide them with some sort of search & replace function, or a batch process of some kind, which will search the link properties for all existing links in any given document, allow them to input the currently existing URL, and replace it with another URL of their choice. As it currently stands, they must edit each link manually, which poorly impacts their manhours.
I have been all through Adobe's help materials, and while I found them to be useful in other tasks I might wish to do, I'm not seeing a way to specifically address the issue of searching and replacing Actions within a Link Properties. I would be rather surprised if this was not something that Adobe will allow me to do, and I am fairly certain I'm simply not finding a way to articulate my need in a search engine friendly way that will find what I am looking for.
One caveat: if no solution exists within Adobe itself, a third party tool is not an option. I work for a government agency, so nifty third party tools are strictly forbidden.
With Adobe Acrobat and only Acrobat, assuming that 3rd party plugins have the same restrictions as other software, the only API you have at your disposal is Acrobat JavaScript and unfortunately, JavaScript can't interrogate the link to find it's properties, it can only set them or reset them.

Export content from an ecommerce site without using the Backend

I have a site that I'm looking to transfer to Volusion. Importing tabled content into Volusion's a breeze, it's getting it tabled that's an issue. The old site has no real ability to export, nor do I know how to get at it's database. I'm thinking there must be some sort of script I can write to take the content from the frontend and download it in some sort of list that I can put into a CSV, and put into Volusion.

Any suggestions? I'm hoping to get in the image directory as well and download all them for upload to the new site.
You are going to need at the very least a file with product code, product name, weight and price.
Looking at the URL you provided it doesn't appear that the products their follow any type of orderly structure where you can target the images folder or products based on a known piece of information like a products code. Unless the back-end has some type of product export function you may have no choice but to recreate it from scratch.
I don't know if you solved this yet or not, but I would suggest scraping the data providing you have the information on the old site currently. This can be done easily using vbscript and excel, or if you aren't very savvy at coding you could look at a piece of software called mozenda. There are a whole variety of methods that can be used to scrape data, all of them pretty easy to learn with a bit of research. Basically you write a script that will crawl your dom and extract the data (to xml works best in my experience)
Hope this helps.

Away3D & AwayPhysics: Content uses capabilities that require a license

Just grabbed all the Away3D branches from Github and included them in a test project I created in FlashBuilder. All runs fine, but if I run any of the files from the ‘awayphysics-examples-fp11’ collection, I get this dreaded message,
I’ve searched here and on Google, with Away3D included, for this message, but nothing relevant came up, so I’m sorry if this is already a known issue.
Is this just something I’ve just got to accept if I want to use Away3D and AwayPhysics?
The branches I'm getting the problem with are away3d-core-fp11, awayphysics-core-fp11 and awayphysics-examples-fp11.
And just to say, I understand Adobe's new models which stipulate that you must get a license to use both shared memory space (Alchemy and the like) and Stage3D. I'm questioning if there's a way to use Away3D and AwayPhysics without the Alchemy element, a lá (I've just found out) jiglibflash.
Don't use flash player. Using Stage3d in in a flash player app is a premium feature. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/premium-features.html
Sorry for necroposting, but someone might find it useful, since google drops this link first on a few queries.

Creating a custom column: "Append-Only" File Upload

I'm trying to make a custom column (for a custom list), where the users can upload files without overwriting the previous - this way they can keep past versions of the files and upload newer ones and the new ones append. There already exist "append only" comment columns and file upload columns that I can see.
I'm working with Sharepoint designer 2007 (2010 doesn't work with the site), and I'm referencing this code I found online somewhere (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=0qN89meu), trying to research the Sharepoint documentation on MSDN. I can open the site in designer, but don't know where to go from there (it's already running on a web server, not opening it locally).
I'm just not clear on how to start, I thought there'd be a simple "right+click -> new column" feature but I can't find it. If someone could point me in the right direction to where I could start creating columns on the site, that would be great. Thanks!
An untested idea :
Create a document library with a lookup column to the custom list.
Create an event receiver (ItemAdded and ItemUpdated) than will take the attached files and move them to the other list (with the correct lookup value). --> Code with Visual Studio
Grant to this document library only read permissions.
Adapt the view to display the related documents in the dispform of the custom list.
Advantages:
this seems to answer to your need
you gain all the usability of a document library (nothing prevent you to grant edit rights to other users, force check out, etc.)
Disadvantages:
you have to play with lookup. Can be tricky sometimes, if you play with features
you split one business entity to two entities. You will have to deal with cascading delete (if you need it).

Existent geolocations list

I need a simple list of verified existent cities, states (streets and sights if possible, but not necessary). I tried to find some dictionary on the internet, like a plain text file or a web page, but it's hard to make good search query for that.
Or maybe there's a way to get this list from some maps API?
It is indeed hard to make a good search query for that. I just clicked a related questions link and this might help:
http://www.geonames.org/
(copied from an answer on Cities/Province/Cantons list with coords?)
They offer files for donwload and webservices.
