Document Preview Capability in Files?

I have a vague memory of being demonstrated a capability within Files (though could have been email) to preview a lot of standard document types without having to download the full document.
So for example it will generate a read-only html view of a word document that you can use to look through the document before deciding to download a full copy. Can someone confirm that this feature exists and maybe point to where I might find documentation on this feature.

Hi,
For your issue, try to do the following:
Make sure Silverlight is installed on machine which search performed. Go to
http://www.silverlight.net/ and download Silverlight runtime
Run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard after setup the Office Web Application for SharePoint 2010.
Disable Loopback was the key: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861

Document Preview File Types

Hi,
I am trying to find a list of all the file types that the document preview in a SharePoint Online environment supports. By this I mean the preview must show the contents of the document, and not just the metadata.
Does anyone know of a list I can reference?
Thanks

Basically its all the standard office document types and PDF. Its the same list as the document types supported by Office Web Apps since that is what does the preview. Here's a support article that explains what Office Web apps supports.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028380?wa=wsignin1.0
PDF files are handled the same as .DOCX

Needing a 'print preview' capability for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (model N911a)

Please provide a 'print preivew' capability via the HP 'print window' for the 8600 Pro.
I purchased this machine in early April 2014 after the prior printer (photosmart 410) 'threw-up' ink inside the printer. The software with that Photosmart 410, prior (and perhaps some current) HP printers provide a 'print preview' capability.
I have several systems (some Windows Vista; some Win-7). All are current with maintenace (including HP S/W & drivers).
The printer is ethernet-cable connected to a 'switch' and in-turn ethernet-cable connected to a wireless router. Some PCs are also ethernet-cable connected; others are wireless connected.
The ability to do a 'print preview' via the HP S/W is not available on any system (i.e. via the 'print' window or subsequent windows, like 'Properties' or 'Advanced').
While some applications have a print preview capability, not all do. Having that capability via the printer 'window (i.e via HP provide S/W) is necessary - it is useful to make sure formating is proper, allows for subsequent changes if needed, and provides the abiloity to see and select the printing of only some pages.
This issue and request has been raised several times - going back to 2012. Just do a search on the Forum using keywords '8600' and 'preview'. The following are a couple instances:
1) http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/Automatic-print-preview/m-p/1529879...

Hi DragonflyFairy,
I understand you would like to know how to get the print preview when printing from the internet.
Depending on what browser you are using, you should have the option to do the print preview.
I have provided 3 different browsers with how to get to the print preview.
Internet Explorer: Go to file, print preview and make your adjustments.
Google Chrome: Go to the icon in the top right corner and click the icon with the 3 lines, click print, make your changes.
Firefox: Click on the tab Firefox dropdown and select print, print preview. Change your settings.
If you are missing the print preview, take a peek at these documents to see if it will help.

I have allways to do a finder restart, and then work fine untul...it doesnt work again.
Any ideas?

Hello. I had a similar problem an solved it like this:
Search for following file:
iWork.qlgenerator
(use advanced search in the Finder with Option "Include Systemfiles")
Move this file (iWork.qlgenerator) to following path:
Sytem / Library / QuickLook
If there's no folder named QuickLook, just create one.
That does the trick for me. Good luck.

Not sure what to do. Have started redoing 3 hours of work saving, closing and reopening. Still get the "Do you want to open a file downloaded from the Internet" but the recent work appears to be there. VERY UNNERVING that so much work could be lost.
I should also mention that my computer defaults to opening PDFs with Adobe Reader but for this one I used command-I to change the default application to Preview since it was so much better at annotating (or so I thought).
Any insight or suggestions? Just tried resetting permissions with Disk Utility and this time it did not ask if I wanted to open a downloaded file.
Paul

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
If you get an error message about permissions, enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Saving a document as a postscript file

How can I save a document as a postscript file in Leopard? In Tiger, one could create a virtual postscript printer. These instructions do not seem to apply to Leopard.
Thanks.

I would say it depends upon the application. In TextEdit or Preview (or any Apple application) you just go to Print, click on the PDF button, and choose "Save as Postscript..."
In what application are you trying to save to a Postscript?

Pdf portfolio document preview issue

I'm creating a pdf portfolio in Acrobat XI and have run into a problem when using grid view. When viewing the pdf portfolio on my 15" laptop, the document preview is cropped in both the thumbnail and larger preview. But when I view the pdf portfolio on a larger monitor, both previews are fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue? Thanks so much for reading.

Preview of .sql Files.

Hello.
On Finder, I can preview all .txt files (a small reproduction of the file's contents). But by default, it is not possible for .sql files. On the preview window, I can only see the file's icon.
How can I make it possible, since for me, .sql files are just text files, with a different extension (instead of .txt, it has .sql extension).
Another question: is it possible to change the icon for all files from a specific type (ex. all .sql files)?
Thanks in advance
Carlos

use this link to make quicklook treat .sql files as plain text files
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071028184428583
icons for a specific file type are set by the application which is currently the default application for that file type. if you change the default application the icons will all change. you can also change the icon used by the current default application. go to the main Applications folder, locate the application in question, control-click on it and select 'show package contents". then go to Contents->Resources. find the .icns used by the application and replace it by your own .icns file. restart.

Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

PC-UI: Document Preview not working in Portal

Hello CRM Gurus,
I'm trying to use "Document Preview" as described in the PC-UI Book at Page 157. I've created my own structure ZCRMT_BSP_OPP_CREATE_QUOTATION which includes the structure CRMT_BSP_PREVIEW. I've created my own Modell access class and implemented the READ Method as follows:
method if_crm_bsp_model_access_il~read .
data: lt_screen_structure type table of zcrmt_bsp_opp_create_quotation,
        lv_opp_guid         type crmt_object_guid,
        lv_account          type bu_partner,
        ls_screen_structure like line of lt_screen_structure,
        lv_lock                  type abap_bool,
        lt_object_key            type crmt_bsp_objectkey_tab,
        lv_screen_structure_name type crmt_bsp_scrstrucname,
        wa_portal type char32.
lv_lock = iv_lock.
lt_object_key = it_object_key.
lv_screen_structure_name = iv_screen_structure_name.
* Create Quotation in R/3 from CRM Oportunity
read table lt_object_key index 1 into lv_opp_guid.
data: lt_header_guid type crmt_object_guid_tab,
        lt_orderadm_h type crmt_orderadm_h_wrkt,
        ls_orderadm_h like line of lt_orderadm_h,
        lt_partner type crmt_partner_external_wrkt,
        ls_partner like line of lt_partner.
insert lv_opp_guid into table lt_header_guid.
call function 'CRM_ORDER_READ'
   exporting
     it_header_guid                = lt_header_guid
   importing
     et_orderadm_h                 = lt_orderadm_h
     et_partner                    = lt_partner.
* Read Opportunity Number from Header
read table lt_orderadm_h index 1 into ls_orderadm_h.
read table lt_partner
    with key ref_partner_fct = '00000021' mainpartner = 'X'
    into ls_partner.
* Call ZSDSL_400 via WinGUI
call function 'Z_GET_PORTAL'
    importing
      wa_portal = wa_portal.
* Create Portal Application Integrator URL
concatenate ls_screen_structure-url 'http://' wa_portal '/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction'
    into ls_screen_structure-url.
concatenate ls_screen_structure-url '?System=SAP_R3&Technique=SSD&TCode=ZSDSLS_227&OkCode=ONLI&GuiType=WinGUI&ApplicationParameter='
    into ls_screen_structure-url.
concatenate ls_screen_structure-url 'KUNNR%3d' ls_partner-ref_partner_no ';SUBMI%3d' ls_orderadm_h-object_id
    into ls_screen_structure-url.
* Open in new Window
ls_screen_structure-object_key = lv_opp_guid.
ls_screen_structure-new_window = 'X'.
append ls_screen_structure to lt_screen_structure.
et_screen_structure = lt_screen_structure.
endmethod.
I've created a new Event ZOPP_CREATE_QUOTATIO which is functional relevant. Added this Event to the Toolbar Group OPP_OIC. Added the Event to the Application Layout of "CRMD_BUS2000111" with position "New Window" and Screen type = PREV Preview. In the Application Set I've added the Modell Access Class ZCL_ANGEBOT_ANLEGEN to the structure ZCRMT_BSP_OPP_CREATE_QUOTATION which is dependent of OPP_HEADER.
When I test the application through CRMC_PCUITOOLS its working perfect. As soon as I run it in the portal the page is refresehed when I click the Button "Create Quotation" but no new window appears.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
I'm facing the same issue. the print preview is not even working when the application is run thru CRMC_PCUITOOLS.
Also, what Field Group/Tool Bar Group have you assigned to the new entry in the Application Layout?

Two documents sent in one file

I have received two separate documents in one Adobe file. Each of the documents go to different places. How do I separate them so I can send them to the respective parties that need them?
Thanks

You cannot do this with the free Adobe Reader. You would need to buy
Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional.

How do I convert an AppleWorks document to a PDF file?

How do I save the document as a PDF file? Whether it's the entire or a selected part of it. I did it a while ago and forgot.
Yes, I have tried the Appleworks help but didn't find it. It's gotta be simple.
G5 2.3 dual Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You use the Print dialog to save as a PDF. Essentially, it prints to a file. Set up to print as usual & then, in the lower left of the dialog box click the Save as PDF button.

Is it possible? I want to create a folders in Document Library but inside folders i do not want to upload a file instead of just i want to create a record. I will map my local file path to the records.
Can anyone help me on it?
Thanks & Regards

Hello Sankaran,
document library is to upload documents, without document you will not be able to add a record or Item to it.
for your requirement you can use a list and enable folders within the list and maintain the local path of the file as an item in list.
