Import filter for Pagemaker does not support non-english charcters in references

Hi all,
we found that when importing from Pagemaker, all referenced images that contain non-english charcters (such as German umlauts) in their file names are lost. Apart from this, the direct import works quite well for us, therefore we would like to use this workflow if we can find a solution for the lost images. In some chapters, 95% of the images are imported correctly, in others almost all are lost.
Is there anything we can do about this? If we rename the images (exchange problematic characters by fixed string), is it possible to correct the references in PM with some sort of search&replace function? These are really a lot of images, so doing it manually would be a bad option.

I found out how to do it.
For the benefit of others who might encounter this or similar filename issues, it would be nice to know the root cause.
On what operating system (and when) were the filename originally created?
(and what version of PM was used)
On what OS, and with what version of FM are you trying to import the PM file?
I presume that there is no issue with the filenames per se under the OS, but just during FM import?
My guess would be that PM is using some legacy encoding for references to file names that include extended latin characters, and that encoding does not translate at FM import.

  • Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

    Hello guys,
    I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
    "ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office). 
    The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
    tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
    original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.   
    Thank you very much for any help.
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
    character.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
    for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
      Hex   Dec
    ř 159   345
    ů 016F  367
    So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
    ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
    ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
    You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
    Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
    Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)

  • Adobe Reader for Blackberry Does Not Support Fillable Forms

    I've discovered that the version released for Android does support fillable forms, but the version for Blackberry does not.  I assume Blackberry did not develop the app so what gives? 

    Mehwish,
    Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
    It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
    I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
    Thanks again for you help.

  • HT204655 Photos for Mac does not support semi professional camera Nikon D7000!

    Since Nikon does not support USB storage mode, the (semi)professional line of Nikon cannot be used to import pictures!!
    This is a serious flaw in the program. Aperture supports Nikon D7000, Image Capture supports the camera but the latest and greatest has forgotten all about supporting market leader's camera's?
    The main and only reason NOT to use Photos... Or did I miss something here?

    Sorry guys, forget all about it. I switch my camera off and on again (while it was connectoed to the Mac) and it appeared in Photos.
    No idea what happened, but I can import my pictures.

  • SQL Server Compact data provider for EF does not support some Entity SQL canonical functions

    I would like to get some comments on this issue:
    http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/812735

    Dennis,
    Yes, I meant the CodePlex tracker for EF. As the code you are talking about is in the EF codebase, not in the SQLCE codebase. I had a closer look, and I think that Contains and StartsWith can be made to work based on the SQL Server implementation. And EndsWith
    should at leats report "Not supported" instead of generating failing T-SQL.
    Do not expect any changes to the SQLCE engine but the SQLCE EF provider code is fully supported by the team, I would imaging also to prove that EF is not SQL Server only.
    BUT - in order to priovide a fix, which could be included in EF 6.1, PLEASE provide a simple repre project/unit tests with some failing ESQL code in it, I could end up contributing the fix, but do not know anything about ESQL.
    I regularly contribute mainly SQLCE provider related fixes, and the EF team is very receptive to those, so I think there is a REAL chance of getting it fixed.
    Please mark as answer, if this was it. Visit my SQL Server Compact blog http://erikej.blogspot.com

  • Does querybuilder support non-english character?

    I want to make query using querybuilder with non-english character (Chinese)?
    I tried with http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html but it is not working.
    below is my query string:
    property=contenttext
    property.value=&#20320;&#22909;&#21966;
    I have converted the chinese character (你好嗎)to unicode.
    Can anyone help me?

    That's a bug in the debugger UI. But it's easy to fix:
    in crxde lite, overlay /libs/cq/search/components/querydebug/querydebug.jsp by copying it to /apps/cq/search/components/querydebug/querydebug.jsp
    open /apps/cq/search/components/querydebug/querydebug.jsp
    find the line "props.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(queryParam.getBytes("ISO-8859-1")));"
    and replace with "props.load(new StringReader(queryParam));"
    Will be fixed in 5.6.1.

  • AIR for mobile does not support the full range of icons. How can we include them?

    The range of icon sizes suppoted by the <icons> attribute of the Main-app.xml seems quite limited.
    For example, we are getting ready to launch our app in the Amazon app store, which has a wide range of different icon sizes for their devices:
    https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/cx-guidelines.html#IconSizes
    But the majority of them fail when you try to include them in a build:
    42x42, 62x62, 75x75, 78x78, 80x80, 90x90, 118x118, 121x121, 125x125, 134x134, 155x155, 159x159, 188x188, 210x210, 252x252, 284x284, 322x322, 365x365, 425x425, 675x675
    Is there a way to add them to the .apk package that will be accesible to the application?

    Hi,

  • How do I get back to FireFox 5. The 7 version will not work with the college's MIS - which does not support version 7, which was downloaded automatically.

    The Angel management system used for classes does not support version 7. That's huge.

    Old versions of firefox 4,5 & 6 are no longer supported or considered secure. You put your system and your personal data at risk if you use them. Further more if you download from third party sites you face other potential risks or inconveniences.
    The recommended official solution is to use Firefox 3.6 which is still supported, and will be 3.6.23, which will upgrade soon to 3.6.24
    Another alternative is to use the current secure firefox for all day to day work, and use a separate firefox portable for the problem school site. With luck a firefox portable version will be available with firefox 3.6.23 which is currently the supported version. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36

  • The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server does not support the required transaction interface.

    I am getting the following error when attempting to INSERT the results of an "EXEC(@MDXQuery) at SSAS LinkedServer":
    The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server does not support the required transaction interface.
    Here is code that illustrates what I am doing:
    DECLARE @MDX varchar(max);
    SET @MDX='
    SELECT
    [Measures].[Extended Service Count]
    } ON COLUMNS,
    NON EMPTY [Organization].[By Manufacturer].[Manufacturer]
    ON ROWS
    FROM (
    SELECT
    {[Organization].[Org Tree].&[2025],[Organization].[Org Tree].&[2040]} ON 0
    FROM [MyCube]
    /* Test 1 */
    EXECUTE(@MDX) at SSASLinkedServer;
    /* Test 2 */
    DECLARE @ResultsB TABLE (
    Manufacturer varchar(255)
    , ExtendedServiceCount float
    INSERT INTO @ResultsB (Manufacturer, ExtendedServiceCount) EXECUTE(@MDX) at SSASLinkedServer;
    Test 1 succeeds, returning expected results, and Test 2 fails returning the error mentioned above.
    Other articles I've found so far don't seem to apply to my case.  I am not creating any explicit transactions in my code.   When I use OPENQUERY, I am able to do the insert just fine, but not when I use EXEC @MDX at LinkedServer.
    Unfortunately in some variations of the query, I run into the 8800 character limit on OPENQUERY, so I need to use this other approach.
    Any ideas?
    -Tab Alleman

    Hi Tab,
    In this case, SQL Server Analysis Services doesn’t support Distributed Transactions by design. Here is a similar thread about this issue for your reference, please see:

    One workaround is that use SQLCMD to execute the EXEC AT command and saved the results to a file, then import using SSIS.
