Jar files for PDF generation through Java - file

Where can i get the following jar files from-:
adobe-livecycle-client.jar
adobe-usermanager-client.jar
adobe-utilities.jar?
How do i download these jar files?

You buy them. And from the looks of things, they're not going to be cheap.
If you are looking for a free, open-source solution for generating PDFs, the most widely-used solution is iText, available here.

well for java based PDF solutions...we dont have a clean way i guess-still.. all solutions are primitive and kind of workarounds... No easy solution for
1. Designing a template of a PDF
2. Then at runtime using java, populate data into this template...either using xml or other datasources...
such a simple requirement and NONE has a good "open-source and free" solution yet !
Eclipse BIRT comes close.. but does not handle Barcode elements ..OOB.

Solr indexing support for NetCDF files?

I am brand new to Solr and NetCDF, and am working on a project that is very much out of my realm of expertise. So I don't know where to look for the best information. I currently have an installation setup and for now I am browsing the directories and configuration files to get familiar. Although I found a few resources and tutorials that have given me a general understanding of how to work with Solr, I do not know how to translate this information specific to working with NetCDF.
Are there any guides, books, or resources that provide information specific to my case? Does Solr/Lucene even support NetCDF indexing by itself? I would appreciate any advice/suggestions/input you might have.
Thanks in advance!
I do not know about solr, but for NetCDF You can use standard programs to extract the data for indexing. Tools exist for C, JAVA and Python (You're probably not interested in FORTRAN), so just dump the necessary data to something that can be read by solr and that's it.

Easy method of translating web application. [cake_php]

I'm writing a web-based computer game (mainly cakephp, some js only for ui). I need to setup another instantion in other language, and for this I need translations. I translated whole project line-by-line, but this generates problem during bug fixes, also both versions require separate svn repo. I don't want to use gettext, because i have very limited server resources, and I don't want to do this live, during execution. They are separate instances anyway, so I need rather a parser that generates copy of a template project depending on file woth translations. Otherwise i will have to write it myself. Anybody knows such a program?
Looks like you didn't read the Internationalization & Localization chapter on cakephp manual.

Where can I find the resources for creating AIML files for chatbot?

I am trying to build a custom chatbot and having difficulties in finding guidelines and resources for AIML creation.
What I want is kind of manual for the usage of tags and predicates.
Any suggesstions!
Really appericate.
Get it from the "horse's mouth" or rather Alice's mouth ;-) at alicebot.org
You may find the AIML Tag reference manual particularly relevant to your quest.
If you are a complete beginner to aiml then refer to TutorialsPoint's website for basic tags understanding.
If done with it now you can look at other peoples codes for reference and create your own chatbots.
You can a look at some of the files here.
Go to free aiml files and refer them.
You can start building your bot using the following
Use pyaiml interpretor you can download it from sourceforge website
You can use program o download its zip files from GitHub
You can also build using pandorabot website. It hosts chatbots.
Good luck.

lightwave 3d 9.6 sdk trouble

Are there tutorials for the SDK (or at least an example), about how to create an export plugin (extract polygons from scene)?
In Lightwave, you're not forced to write an export plugin to extract the polygons from a scene/object : the LWO and LWS are documented (enough) to parse them quite easily.
The file formats documentation are in filefmts folder of the SDK. You can find libs that parse Lightwave files also, such as Open Asset Import library.
If you still need to do it as a plugin, there's a sample plugin for Modeler, in the sample/Modeler/Input-Output/vidscape folder.
You can find a reasonable amount of LW export plugins on the web. Some of them are compiled .p plugins, but some are Python .py or LScript *.ls. Two latter can be edited and tweaked with text editor of your choice to individual needs quite easily.
There are wikis on the web about Lightwave API commands available from script as well.

How to dynamically generate a pdf from Google's appengine?

I'd like to create an application that would run on Google's appengine.
However, this application needs to be able to generate PDFs dynamically.
How could I do this?
You can use the reportlab library to generate a PDF from Python. You can just include the ReportLab files in with your application's code, or you can include a zip archive of the ReportLab code, and insert it into your application's sys.path.
To overcome the number-of-files limit in google appengine, you could package your reportlib in a zip file and use it. Be sure you check out this issue i bumped into..
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1085
Also, you can use pisa, htmllib and pyPdf to generate the pdf using html templates.
All the best.

I would recommend PyFPDF, which is a pure-Python port of the lightweight yet highly powerful PHP FPDF library. It is hardly a few dozen kilobytes.
See http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/
Google has a new "Conversion API" that may solve all your problems. Here's a description from the site:
The App Engine Conversion API converts documents between common filetypes using Google's infrastructure for efficiency and scale. The API enables conversions between HTML, PDF, text, and image formats, synchronously or asynchronously, with an option to perform optical character recognition (OCR).
