DeVry Dropbox will nort reconize word doc as attachments, it claims the file is empty.

While on DeVry using their website and attempting to use the drop box. I followed their instructions and tried several times to attach a word document to the dropbox but everytime I did it would claim that the file was empty. Had to use internet explorer.

When you call it the first time, it new Shell() constructs a new Display for you (the default).
The second time, it gets the default display, but you are in a different Thread now. Since you have to create your widgets in the UI thread, it gives you that error.
To run code in the UI thread, Display provides two methods:
display.syncexec(..)and
display.asyncexec(...)see

  • I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen.  I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email.  Does this app exist?

    I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...

  • Can not edit Word docs after converting from a ExportPDF file. The PDF file is converted into a non-editable Word Doc image.

    Converting a PDF file (scanned copy Adobe Reader X) to a Word Doc using ExportPDF conversion. The Word Doc created is a image file which is not editable. I need an editable Word Doc file.

    Hi robertw,
    Can you please tell me more about how the PDF was created? (If you don't know, choose File > Properties, and look for the PDF Producer on the Description tab.)
    If the PDF was created by a third-party PDF creator, it may be that it's not well-written, and that can affect the quality of the conversion. See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.
    That said, you may be able to select the text by triple-clicking in the Word document.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

    Hi Linda,
    I just tried it, and was able to convert a Word .doc to to PDF, in spite of the fact that it was marked Read Only. Here are the instructions for uploading and converting to PDF with Acrobat.com:

    Hi, I am trying to convert my resume on pages to a word document.  When i export the file to to make it a word document ie(resume.doc) it messes up my whole resume on websites and pulls up a bunch of random words. Please help!

    What exactly is the problem?
    Your description is so muddled I am having trouble working it out.
    How does your exported .doc file mess up websites? In fact what does it have to do with websites?
    Where, how and what are the random words turning up?

    when I i port a word doc into pages it throws the format out and I cant adjust it?

    Pease don't say the "latest" that doesn't tell us anything.
    People are always getting it wrong.
    Tell us the actual version number:
    Menu > Pages > About Pages
    Can you select the footer? And what is in the footer?
    Sometimes Word has these things in separte textboxes under other things and you need to lassoo them to get rid of them.

  • When converting Word doc to pdf I lose the table boarder. How to fix?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When converting an MS Word doc to pdf I lose the table boarders - primarily in shaded boxes that also have navigation tags. Can someone let me know how to fix this problem?

    Hi Garyeg -
    Thanks you for reporting the issue.
    We would need the files for investigation. Request you to share your email id for correspondence.
    In addition please share which version of Acrobat are you using i.e. 10.X?

    When I download word docs my MacBook is adding the flv extension onto the doc extension and I can't open the doc. Any ideas?

    Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
    There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
    It looks like this:
    check the button for manual updates.
    That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

  • A font not used in an MS Word doc is showing up in the PDF properties and won't embed

    A friend needed a new manuscript uploaded to a publishing site. I retyped it in MS Word (2007) using NO formatting shortcuts and using only ONE font (Georgia)  for both body and headers/footers. Placed all the jpg illustrations on the pages. Then saved it in the required PDF format for the publisher's system to use. They also require that ALL fonts/symbols are embedded. Even ONE character that is not embedded will void the file. I'm now on attempt 17.
    When I checked the properties on this PDF file, the font I used, including italics, symbols and bolding, are noted as embedded. However, it also says that there is ARIEL font (which I did not use) that is NOT embedded. AARRGGHH.
    This gal wants her book ready in two weeks. HOW can I resolve this? Any ideas? I saved it once through MS Word using the PDF option, but also tried it through my Photoshop Elements. Same result. My PC uses Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) and the Adobe Reader XI.0.7. The Java files are the most current update as of yesterday.

    It seems to me to be a problem of MS Word, not Adobe Reader.
    Also, I don't know how you can convert a Word doc to PDF with Photoshop Elements.

  • Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

    I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
    Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
    I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
    why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
    I have MSWord 2010.

    When I do the steps below, the Word doc that is saved is like a photo. I am unable to work with the document. Why does it do that? I have converted pdf’s before without that happening but I think I did it on a free 30-day trial of X Pro.
    This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
    As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.

  • Once i download a pdf file to a word doc, how do i edit the doc

    What you are trying to do is upload a file to a server not download. Depending on the mechanism that the server uses an alternate browser like iCab may be able to do this.

  • My Word docs are NOT saving as PDF files.

    I go to "File, Print, PDF, Save as PDF, save doc to my desktop, click Save"...it "processes" then chimes alerting me it's completed, but the PDF is NO WHERE on my desktop (or anywhere on my laptop for that matter!!)
    The interesting thing about this problem ONLY happens when I CREATE that particular Word document. If someone emails me a Word doc and I download it and then open it up in Word, I am then ABLE to save it as a PDF. Soo, I tried emailing the file I created to myself...downloaded it, and tried to save as a PDF, same thing happens as before....no where to be found.
    Helpppp. I am SO frustrated. THANKS

    Okay - could be a bad file or a document with a goofy format, size, or table of contents snafu.
    I had issues with Acrobat 9.x with Word 2010 (Windows).  I stopped using Acrobat and just started doing what you're doing - saving direct from Word > PDF - and haven't had an issue since (other than bloated file sizes even saving as "minimum").
    So my advice is to look at your document.  It could be a TOC thing, or a large image, or something else messing up the engine.
    Remember, Office 2007, 2010, and 2011 all save DOCX as XML files.  So the "converter" (save-as-PDF) is rendering XML > PDF.

  • Unable to email word docs as attachments to PC

    I'm having trouble successfully emailing a word doc from my mac to a PC. Whenever the recipent receives the attachment, it's no longer a word document,
    and instead is converted into the following link: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=07.
    Can't understand why the document is being converted into this link??? I tried sending it by both mac email and aol, checking the box "send windows friendly attachments" and neither worked. I have OS X 10.4.8 and am using the windows teacher student edition for microsoft word. Don't think the recipient's system is rejecting it as a virus, etc. b/c there's been no such warning after receiving my email. Anyone deal with this before??

    Make sure you're including .doc at the end of every file name otherwise Windows won't know what type of file it is.
