Can't create archive from file menu

Hello,
I can't create 'archive' (tar.gz) from file menu in Color (Save Archive As...).
I don't have authorization problem on my folder project; i can create myself a tar.gz archive in the folder Archive of my Color's project.
The system.log file said:
Jul 16 09:45:51 fcp1 [0x0-0x1e01e].com.apple.color[215]: tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Jul 16 09:45:51 fcp1 [0x0-0x1e01e].com.apple.color[215]: Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.

some other users report difficulties, crashes, freeze-ups and very long save times associated with the Operating System and Finder. There is apparently some background file compression utility that may be interfering with your save routine. There are a couple of threads related to this issue on this forum, so a bit of searching may yield a solution.
I haven't encountered it in nearly four years of day-to-day with three separate systems in either Tiger or Leopard. Suffice to say that if you have any third-party whiz-bang utilities running, COLOR is very vulnerable to OS corruption as it is a stripped-out race car that doesn't expect or tolerate much else when it comes to sharing the computer.

Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
***Update***
I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
I'm truly puzzled.

I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
"Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!

Can't create PDF from Word file

I may be missing some functionality or that functionality may not exist.
I'm running Acrobat Pro 9.2 and MS Word 2004 (11.5) on OSX Leopard 10.5.8. I want to create a PDF from a Word file but NOT using the Print dialog. I want to either create it in Acrobat using File > Create PDF > From File or create it from within Word using the Acrobat menu/toolbar. This is so that it will end up as a tagged PDF.
However, I don't have an Acrobat menu or toolbar in Word. I thought Acrobat was supposed to have installed these into MS Office when I installed Acrobat. And when within Acrobat if I select File > Create PDF > From File and choose a Word file, I get a message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged". This happens for all Word files.
Looking in Acrobat > About Adobe Plug-Ins... under Convert2AdobePDF it says 'Loaded: no'.
Are these two methods of converting Word files to PDFs something that can only be done in the Windows version of Acrobat? Or is there a plug-in or update I can download to install this missing functionality?
Thanks for your help,
Mark

Keep your Office2004. But Office 2008 does have a way to create PDF's from within the word and excel Programs.
It works better than through the AdobePDF Printer, or through the Apple Print menus save as PDF. (Unless you have X.6.x Snow leopard)
One thing it gets around is a long standing Problem Acrobat has had with word and excel since Word 6.0.1.a/Excel 5.0.1a. Acrobat doesn't know how to interpert Word Page section Breaks. Chopping up a word/excel document in to multiple PDFs that have to be merged back together. MS came up with their own PDF Converter that gets around that problem.

Can't create PDF from most MS Office files, or combine

After behaving nicely for months, Acrobat suddenly won't create PDFs, either from the Acrobat menu or (for most) from right-clicking in Explorer. If I try File> Create PDF> From File, the dialog says it's looking for 'all supported formats' but doesn't show any of the files in the folder (not even .TXTs). It'll create a PDF from the right-click menu in Explorer, for only a very a few file types (for example, .docx but not .doc), and it won't do a Combine Files, either from Explorer or from the program, for any filetypes (says 'cannot convert file' on all filetypes).
This worked fine up til today and I have the same setup at work (AA 9 Pro and Office 2010) where it works fine. Tried doing a 'Repair' but no change. Starting to panic here. What went south? Thanks for any clues!

I said to print as a check, not to forget PDF Maker. The print is a temporary work around while you resolve the issue, partiuclarly if you are under time pressure. With versions before AA9, PDF Maker was simply a front end for the printer and when the printer was checked things might fail. So you get some trouble shooting of where the problem is. If you do not want to troubleshoot to see if everything is broken, that is fine.
The updates and repairs are other steps to take. A reinstall is typically a last resort and should include deletion of the Acrobat folder and running a cleaner on the registry after the uninstall.
Generally, if the PDF Maker in WORD does not work, then none of the other options to right click and create a PDF or creating a PDF directly in WORD will not work either. The whole point is to trace down to what is the major problem. Often folks have problems because the PDF Maker is not being recognized in WORD and has to be activated, but you have the icon and that suggests things should work.
Your next step is to check the job settings file. Be sure you have access to the job settings file. You will usually get an error message if this access is denied for some reason and posting the error is helpful.

Can you create a .ics file from entries in a PDF?

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me: Can you create a .ics file from entries in PDF?
Example:
I'm wanting people to be able to choose a number of dates for some events within a PDF, then click a button that will then create a (or number of) .ics files so they can add those dates to the calendar of their choice. Is this possible?
Thanks

Using the solution supplied by Leonia, and cited by Keith, you can do the same thing (flopping the Curve profiles) in LightRoom. So, it makes sense. Though I didn't know know it worked for Color Negatives.
A friend of mine with a Nikon Coolscan is going to scan nearly 150 B&W rolls of 35mm negatives for me, and I want to import them all into Aperture, naming and keywording as I go. The objective is, of course, to have the convenience of a diigtal library. But also to have some made into large prints for framing.

Can't create a .war file....

Hi,
I feel a little stupid but I can't create a .war file.
I'm under the folder tuto which contains WEB-INF and index.html
and I write this instruction on the command line:
C:\tomcat\tuto>jar -cvfM ../tuto.war
Unfortunately, it's not accepted.
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance,
Steevy.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
In fact, it doesn't change anything to remplace ../tuto.war by ..\tuto.war.
I suppose the root cause isn't at this level because when I write just the following
C:\tomcat\webapps\tuto>jar -cvf tuto.war
I obtain exactly the same message:
Usage: jar {ctxu}[vfm0M] [jar-file] [manifest-file] [-C
Options:
-c create new archive
-t list table of contents for archive
-x extract named (or all) files from archive
-u update existing archive
-v generate verbose output on standard output
Best,
Steevy.

How can I create a GIF file ?

Does anybody know, how can I create a Gif file with LV.
I had used the print option (Print to HTML file) from LV but I can't use it
when I
create an application with appbuilder.
Does anybody know another way to carry it out?
Thanks in advance

You understood me correctly but the properties of the documentation tool
doesnt exist
after building the application (Runtime Version). Only the Menu "File /
Print Window" option is present. Therefor I looked for another way to do it.

How can I create an Excel file?

Hi,
How can I create an Excel file using Forms 6i.
What I'm doing is to create a file using TEXT_IO package an name it .XLS. If a read it double-clicking over the file, it opens Ok but If I open directly from Excel it opens the Convert dialog.
I need to create an excel file as it was made from within Excel.
Thank in advance,
Benjamin

When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
Type
man du
when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder. To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path. If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help. If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory. That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

Can Reader create PDF from XLS

A few weeks ago, I had the ability to create PDF files from my Excel Spreadsheets. I do not remember how I set this up but it worked fine. Then I realized that I had both Reader V6 and V7 installed so I uninstalled V6. Now I can't create the PDF files as before. What happened and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

I did not think so. But I DID have the functionality. The only thing I could think of that might have changed was that I uninstalled Reader V6 but kept V7. When I first set it up, I was thinking that it was part of Excel. How could I have gotten the functionality?

Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word. If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

Thanks for responding. Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice. Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates. So I went through and re-installed each update. Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope. When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers. I'm stumped...

Can't open nautilus from applications menu

I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
/usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop: Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
Any one can help?

ooo wrote:
Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
Thanks!
I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.

Creating PDF from File, missing Settings

Acrobat Professional. 6.0.
I never used Acrobats "Create PDF from file", as in my MS Office 2000 there was "Acrobat - Convert to Adobe PDF" menu item with the possibility to change joboptions settings.
My current MS Office 2007 now has its own PDF convertor only, so I tried the Acrobats feature "Create PDF from file". It works, but the Settings button is grayed out with all Office file types. I didnt find a way how to access Acrobats settings, so I tried by first opening Distiller and changing the options there. Nothing happened, the output from Acrobat has always the same file size and quality. Of course I could make PDF out from Office by printing to Adobe PDF printer, but how with other file types which are not Office types.
Thanks for suggestions, i.e. for showing me what I eventually didnt consider.

As I and Bernd tried to say. AA6 does not support OFFICE 2007. The fact that you have PDF Maker from AA6 working in WORD 2007 is surprising. Since it is not a normal or supported operation, we have no idea what to tell you. It should not even be working. You are the first one I have ever heard say that they have the AA6 PDF Maker (create PDF is the way it shows up) working in OFFICE 2007!
Thus, I may misunderstand. But I am trying to tell you that none of us have experience with the configuration. Adobe will also tell you to simply upgrade. Unfortunately, that leaves you on your own to experiment. If you have questions along the way based on your observations, we would be glad to try to help, but don't expect too much.

How can we create the DBC file?

Hi all,
I am attempting to run the test_fwktutorial.jsp within the toolbox.jws/Tutorial.jpr project in Jdeveloper . We have to provide the Oracle application DB connection in the project properties ( we have to provide this as a DBC file) . How can we create the dbc file from the Database connection ? i tried to export the DB connection in Jdev , but it is getting exported to xml file rather than dbc file . Please help to fix this.

Yes, you can do that.
Put both the DBC files under dbc_files\secure folder.
You can change the dbc files from project settings and point to the desired file.
I am not sure, but maybe you need to stop JDevloper and start again for the new DBC file to take effect.
