Having active file links to text files in pdf

Hi,
I have a Word doc that has a number of embedded text files that are accessible by double-clicking the text icon. When I convert the Word doc to pdf these will not launch Notepad with the actual text file that is needed. Any suggestions on how to embed the text file so that it is launchable from the pdf? I originally just copied and pasted the icons from the email as they were sent to me. They launch from Word with no issues but will not when converted to pdf. Thank you.

I have tried to embed the mp3 and mp4 files, but the place command will not recognise them (they are always greyed). The only way I have been able to make the sound files play is by linking to the files using a button, but the 'embed all' command on making a pdf doesn't seem to work with this.

Link in a DVD menu to link to text files such as Word, Adobe PDF's ect

Hello All
Is there anyway to put a link in a DVD menu to link to text files such as Word, Adobe PDF's etc that are burned into the DVD?
Hope someone can help me out.

Actually, you CAN'T with iDVD. You CAN put a variety of content into the DVD-ROM area, but that isn't accessable from any menu in an iDVD created DVD.
If you use DVD Studio Pro, you have some ability to add the kind of links you ask about.

How to write the location of a file in a text file?

Hello All,
I am doing a POC with the following scenario:
Steps:
1. Move a file from one location in your system to another location, say from C drive to D drive.
2. After that i want to write the new location of the file in a text file.
I have succesfully moved the file from C drive to D drive using the File Adapter and also FTP Adapter. However I am unable to copy or write the new location of the file into a text file. Please provide me any suggestions regarding this issue i am facing. Your help and support is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If want the file directory name to be captured in the BPEL process then add <element name="directory" type="string"/> in the inbound or outbound adapter header wsdl file. Then declare a variable of the header message type and in the 'adapter' tab of the receive or invoke activity select that variable which you previously created.
Hope this helps.

How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
        String string;
        try {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
            char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
            br.close();
            string= sb.toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jing

You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

How to convert a HTML files into a text file using Java

Hi guys...!
I was wondering if there is a way to convert a HTML file into a text file using java programing language. Likewise I would also like to know if there is a way to convert any type of file (excel, power point, and word) into text using java.
By the way, I really appreciated the help that you guys gave me on my previous topic on how to extract tests from a pdf file.
Thank you....

HTML files are already text files. What do you mean you want to convert them?
I think if you search the web, you can find things for converting those MS Office files to text (or extracting text from them, as I assume you mean).

Copy one text file to another text file and delete last line

Hi all wonder if someone can help, i want to be able to copy one text file to another text file and remove the last line of the first text file. So currently i have this method:
Writer output = null;
         File file = new File("playerData.xml");
         try {
               output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));
               output.write("\t" + "<player>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerName>" + playerName + "</playerName>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerScore>" + pointCount + "</playerScore>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerTime>" + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds" + "</playerTime>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "</player>" + "\n");
               output.write("</indianaTuxPlayer>" + "\n");
              output.close();
              System.out.println("Player data saved!");
         catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }However each time the method is run i get the "</indianaTuxPlayer>" line repeated, now when i come to read this in as a java file i get errors becuase its not well formed. So my idea is to copy the original file, remove the last line of that file, so the </indianaTuxPlayer> line and then add this to a new file with the next data saved in it. So i would end up with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<indianaTuxPlayers>
     <player>
          <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
          <playerScore>0</playerScore>
          <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
     </player>
     <player>
          <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
          <playerScore>0</playerScore>
          <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
     </player>
     <player>
          <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
          <playerScore>0</playerScore>
          <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
     </player>
</indianaTuxPlayers>
However after all day searching the internet and trying ways, i have been unable to get anything working, could anyone give me a hand please?

I would go the XML route too, but for fun, open a file as a BufferedWriter and do this:
void copyAllButLastLine(File src, BufferedWriter tgt) throws IOException {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(src));
    try {
        String previous= in.readLine();
        for (String current = null; (current = in.readLine()) != null; previous=current) {
            tgt.write(previous);
            tgt.newLine();
    } finally {
        in.close();
}

Self links from text file

hi,
am using dreamweaver cs5.5 ... i have stored lotta hyperlinks in a txt file (more than 50) ... want to add them to my site ... so can i make all those 50 links active or working in an html page automatically ???
thanx

Hey Blue -
Not sure what you mean by "automatically" or "selflinks", but outside of DW you can prepend any missing parts of the HTML link code (like) <a href=" and append the "</a><br> using find & replace.
When you are happy with the modified text file, you can then open DW, and copy & paste it into code view of your HTML page
Adjust your F&R criteria to suit your needs.

Creating a link to text file in a tomcat server not working in JSP webapp

I am using netbeans to create an web application within my desktop, and then I load the build/web folder to a tomcat server to test the application. Everything works fine. However, when I try to link up my JSP pages to text files (.txt) create by the application on the server, I seem to be getting files that might be kept in a terminal.
When I get the Real path of the servlet context, I find that it is to a C:\ type file rather than a //hostname type of directory. So obviously those files are not being reached.
Does anybody know how to deal this problem?

There are a number of ways to get to the Flash Global Security settings dialog.
My favourite way is just to double click on a Captivate SWF (not the HTM file) to open it in a web browser, then right click on the playing screen to get the Flash context menu. On the context menu, click the Global Settings option.
In the web page that opens, click the link on the left to Global Security Settings.
Add the folder or drive location of your published Captivate content to the Trusted Locations.

Trying to load a javascript link from text file into a dynamic textfile

Can anyone help me with this problem? Im trying to load in a
newsfeed from freshcontent.net into my text field. If i put this
javascript link on an html page, the page shows correctly, which is
im supposed to get 3 dynamic links with news content headlines.
Please view the link to see what i mean:
http://www.freshcontent.net/directory/real-estate/real_estate.html
Now, i cannot get this same type of display behavior in my
text field if i just paste into my text file the javascript link
thats supposed to bring up the 3 headlines. It is my understanding,
that flash cannot do this without some sort of specific
actionscripting, that involves asfusion, and/or externalInterface.
Im not sure exactly how to go about setting this up to make this
work. My current code looks like this:
If anybody could tell me where im going wrong and what i
should change in order to get the desired result im going for, Id
very much appreciate it. Thanks

well sorry there fanmap - but I don't think you're going to
be able to get this to work. here's why: the link points to a php
file - which gathers dynamic info from a DB - the return from the
php is generating a string that is based on the DOM and
'constructs' a javascript method that in turn writes to the html
document. although we can embed html into a textField in Flash
there are a limited number of supported html tags - and JS methods
will not operate internally. in addition, (i'm not certain someone
correct this if i'm off) there's no way to 'change' the output of
the php call, therefore you will not be able to read the return
because it is designed to use the DOM and write solely to the
current document. Even if you were to access the JS method from the
swf file (which one can) it will still only write the content of
the php return to the html document - and the output is not
compatible with the textField class.

Dynamic table linking to text file

Access 2013.accdb
A large quantity of text files will be arriving to the user. They will all have the same fixed width format, but their file names will vary, and their stored location.
The data needs to be appended into Table1
I am thinking this approach: Link to a model text file Model.txt, and as part of that normal table linking I can set up the fixed width definitions for the fields. I have already done this ok. So I have this linked table 'Model1' in the navigation
pane
When a new text file comes the user will archive it in a folder: New1.txt
I can then get the path as a string: "C:blah blah \New1.txt" lets call this NewString
So what I am thinking is in order to Append in the new data; to first dynamically change the link table path to Model1 into the NewString and refresh the connect.
The AppendQuery is looking for Model1 so that table name must not change, and the fixed widths that were part of the Model1 initial linking must not change.
Does this sound viable - and what is the code for Model1 table relinking? Table Def connect properties is not something I've delved into and much of the research I've found is seriously old mdb vintage
I do not think the import spec feature of 2013 allows a dynamic change in file location / name - though if I am wrong on this point please let me know. And I think in terms of a TransferText import I would lose the fixed widths definition and
it would come in only as a single field file. So these are the reasons I am thinking of manipulating the table path connection.
Definitely would welcome advice on this one. TIA

getting a path to a file is pretty straight forward code out there for Windows Explorer file selection:
'file select
Dim strFile As String
      With Application.FileDialog(1)
           If .Show Then
               strFile = .SelectedItems(1)
           Else
               MsgBox "No file selected", vbInformation
               Exit Sub
           End If
       End With
'end file select
so strFile would be what I termed NewString in my original post; I have found code to change links to Access tables and even excel files - but haven't found what works to a text file....the code that I've experimented with does not like the .connect
refresh......

Creating links to text files with Tomcat and JSP

I am trying to create links in a JSP page that bring up text files. Currently, the links point to a file format. When the links are clicked, however, the text files are not displayed in the web browser. When an "http:" format is used, the links point to terminal files that are not being written dynamically (and therefore are useless to me). So in short, I'm looking for a way to get these links to (1) point to text files on the network, and (2) get them to display in a new browser window. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
TGD

You cannot expect Tomcat or any J2EE Server to give access to the Network files.
You need to design a different way to give access to the Users.
What you can do is write a proxy (HttpServlet) which can pass a request parameter as the file name. The Servlet can read the file and then paint it in the Client Browser Window.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,

File links go missing files in bins

Premiere Pro CS6. I'm working on a fairly complex project with lots and lots of still images and dynamic links to AE CS6. Never had this happen before, but while I'm working on a project with lots of bins and sub-bins, I'll go looking for a file and while the bins are all still there, there are no files in them.
My workaround has been to close PPro and reopen the file and voila! they're there. Nothing changes on the timeline, but I can't access the links to move a file to the timeline.
Bug or feature??? I'd say bug, because it certainly doesn't act as a feature to me!
I'd send a bug report, but they don't really seem to help. I've still got the problem of having to render AE CS6 dynamic links inside PPro, which didn't exist in CS5.5 and have turned in several bug reports, with no response from Adobe. sigh Takes up valuable render time.
The work around is not acceptable as it takes up even more time!

I'll go looking for a file and while the bins are all still there, there are no files in them.
"My guess is you have something typed into the search field. Clear that out."
Nope. Nothing in the search box. It's like the database for the bins just disappears randomly. Then when i close the program and reopen it, the file links are back. It's almost like the bins directory(?) loses communications with Premiere (it hasn't happened in AE...yet) so I'm wondering if there's a .dll or some sort of subroutine that directs the bin database.
"Can you be more specific? Every version of PP that has had Dynamic Link has often required the "link" to be rendered in PP for real time playback. This will depend on your hardware and the complexity of the comp."
Yes. When I dynamically linked an AE file to a PPro project in versions CS5 and CS5.5 (and further back as well, when it worked at all!), the render line above the linked project was yellow, showing as not needing a render. In CS6, the behavior is completely different. It shows as needing to render (red). My graphics card is an approved nVidia Quadro, so that's not an issue. In CS6, it's broken. Period. It has disrupted my workflow as I use many compositions from AE in PPro and now have to render a project.
Thanks for the help...or at least looking at the issues. But no resolution here yet.

Trying to parse a file-read from text file.vi

I'm attempting to read a txt file that has tab separated data. In the fourth (or any) column is the only data I need. The data is a string of numbers (23.454).
I've used the Read from Text File.vi and the Read From Spreadsheet.vi and I just don't seem to have enough LV background to extract the pertinent data into a graph. any suggestions?

(It is silly to use "delete from array" if all you want is a column. The correct function is "index array")
Joe's idea above basically works fine. Here's a quick adapdation (the node before the graph is "index array" from the array palette.).

Making an ASCII file into a text file

Hi-
I am trying to read the lines of an ASCII file as Strings and write them to a new text file. Eventually I will modify the info in the lines, but for now I'm just trying to get the flow from one file to another. I can't figure out how to write a String to a new file. Below is the code that I've written so far, followed by the error that i get when I run it (it compiles fine). One problem I see is that FileWriters are made to write characters, but I want to write Strings to a new file. How do I get around this?
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
class Delimiter {
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException {
try {
File inputFile=new File("test.asc");
File outputFile=new File(test.txt");
BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFile));
BufferedWriter out=new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile));
String line=" ";
while (line != null) {
line=in.readLine();
out.write(line);
out.newLine();
in.close();
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
ERROR:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.io.Writer.write(Unknown Source)
at Delimiter.main(Delimiter.java:23)

sorry, I responded too quickly. I put out.write(null);
just before the in.close(); statement and got an error
saying that command is ambiguous b/c write() could
belong to multiple classes. did you mean that I should
put it in the while loop?I didn't mean for you to put
out.write(null);
in your code. I meant to point out that when 'line' is null, the problem is that you are passing a null to the out.write() method. That is bad. Don't do that. Use the above. It will test for null before doing the write().
