Word to Pages "Import Error"

I have a load of files created by drag and drop editing of pdf files into Word tables. I want to use pages to edit these ... it should be easier with services. Most of the files open fine, but a few give me an Import Error. Any ideas? There are no obbvious differences between the accepted files and the rejected files. I mightjust gie up with Pages, leaving it for the Mrs to play with ... Keynote seems nice though!
(Sorry is this has been asked and sorted, but search is off-line and I couldn't find it in the messages when I browsed)

Julian,
Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.

Export to Word RTF - Page Server error when over 160 pages exported

We have XIR2 SP2
We have a Crystal report published into this Enterprise which, when all parameters are widened, runs to 190 pages.
The resultant report includes tables
We can export to PDF but the client requires it in Word RTF
We can export to Word RTF Editable - and all 190 pages are produced in the resulting file, but of course the tables are omitted and the result is messy.
So, we need to export to Word RTF where the format is neat and includes the tables.
However, when we try and export more than 160 pages to Word RTF, we receive the following error.
CrystalReportViewer
handleCrystalEvent failed
Unable to retrieve Object.
The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.
We have a duplicate environment with an identical configuration, standing by as a failover environment and which points to the same data.This produces the same error, so we don't think it's an installation corruption or failure.
The page server is set to a maximum of 2,000,000 rows, the cache server at 256000 maximum.

Hi Tony F,
Many thanks for coming back on this one. Both Enterprise servers are identical in BO config, Windows 2003 server, but different in hardware.
One has 4 proc and one has 2, one has twice the memory of the other, yet both fail at over 161 pages. Both have their boCMS db's on different servers, both derive the data from different servers.
IIS is the web server. The only common denominator is the actual installation software itself and the person who installed it (me).
On Friday, instead of running the reports in Enterprise/Preview or Infoview (both exhibit the problem) I switched from our default activeX to DHTML, and advanced DHTML. No improvement (Our report wouldn't work with Java, which we never use)
On the suggestion of the SAP/BO support girl, I then SCHEDULED the report for immediate running and chose WordRTF as the format. This works fine.
So on that evidence I suspect a software glitch that is specific to using Infoview to open the report rather than schedule it - the two processes must access the WordRTF translator in different ways.
I'm hoping there is a patch or hotfix that can solve it. Sadly, our users don't have the appetite for the few extra clicks to use the workaround so we're going to have to pursue it with BO unless the forum comes up with an answer - perhaps its something I didn't do properly on installation, or a CMC/CMS setting. We've got 2m row limit on the page server but the report's row count is nothing like that and, anyway, it works if scheduled.
I'm really grateful to you for taking the time to reply, I hope the above answers your question - if I had hair to pull out, I'd be doing just that!
Kind regards
Tony W

Import Error with Pages

I have been working on my college application essay for a while now, and I've had it saved as a Word Document on my flash drive. Today, I tried to open the file and it said: Import Error: file format invalid. My flash drive and computer both work completely fine; I have other word files on my flash drive that I can open and use as normal. I've tried opening the file on both my brother and mom's MacBook Pros and I'm receiving the same message. I tried it on our HP computer as well, and when I open the file I'm getting this weird encoding message. (Sorry, I'm not much of a tech guru and can't use any fancy terms). I think the file might be damaged, but I don't know how that would've happened. I'm sorry if this isn't enough information, but this is everything I know and have tried. If anybody knows what's wrong and has any solutions (laymen's terms are preferred, please), I would be very grateful! (Ironically enough, I was about to back up the file from when I last saved it...)

After having the same issue, I found your post and thought I'd share my solution for your future reference and others. This little tid bit helps when the pages document corrupts and we receive that friendly "Import Error The file format is invalid." message.
Rename the file from "My important assignment.pages" to "My important assignment.zip" and tell the message you really do want to use .zip.
-- Double-click the file.
-- Open the "My important assignment" folder, and open "QuickLook" folder.
-- Double-click the "Preview.pdf"
-- Copy the text and paste into a new Pages document.
These steps help you to recover your page file info.
Good Luck

"Import Error" with Word Document (google doc)

I tried to open a word document that I created using Google's online document program and I keep getting 'import error' when I try to open with Pages. I tried it several times on several different .doc documents created with the Google program and get the same error message.
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It's likely they aren't true Word documents & there is some formatting or feature that the translator in Pages can't handle. Could you post a link to where these can be created so others of us can try it?

Import Error Opening AppleWorks 6.2.9 .cwk files in Pages 3.0.2

Once upon a time I could open all my Appleworks 6 files in Pages. Now, trying to open these files in Pages produces an "Import Error - AppleWorks document 'name xxx.cwk' is not a word processing document."
The file(s) were saved, re-saved and re-saved again as an AppleWorks 6.2.9 .cwk files. Pages 3.0.2 will no longer open any of my Appleworks 6 .cwk files. No drag-and-drop. No FILE/OPEN. Nothing ... same "Import Error."
Anyone having the same problems opening AppleWorks 6 .cwk files? Any solutions? Any advice? Thank you.

There was someone else here awhile back that also had problems opening AppleWorks word processing files with Pages. I had no problem opening the files with either AppleWorks or Pages, so we never did figure out what was the cause. I'd be glad to take a look at one or two of these files.

Import Error: The document was created with an unsupported version of Word.

This is the message I get when opening up a Word doc from a cross-country client:
*Import Error*
The document was created with an unsupported version of Word.
Unfortunately, he's out of touch for the next week so I have no idea which version he is using...although a look using BBEdit reveals this in the footer of the doc: Microsoft Word for Windows.
Is there a list of supported and unsupported versions of Word, so I can be prepared for my next encounter with this message?

If you can open it up, is the formatting of great importance, or is it just the information you need? If its info, copy from BBEdit and paste into your Pages doc. Sometimes you can open it in text edit and then save as a different format. (I think its text edit, one of the OSX word processors opens word docs ok.)
Sorry, this also appears as a problem in Numbers (believe it or not, its also a problem with Office 2007 for windows too). The explanation gets a bit complicated, but there are so many variations of how a M$ document is created. (not all docs are made by M$ products remember, but exported from other programs on different systems, even if it says "Word for windows").
Because of the varied amount of things that can be wrong (that M$ products seem to overlook, or fill in the gaps that would normally cause an error), there is no hard list of non-compatible versions.
This is just as we ( a bunch of nerds here and around the web), have found out from experimenting with different versions and such.
hope this helps and hope the copy paste or save as works for you.

A classpath error while importing a class with @page import property

Hi ,
I am using Tomcat contaniner for jsp applications. I have developed a page that i have import a class. when i use
<%@ page import="myclass" &>
i got an error that myclass not found. I have placed into tomcat\webapps\myproject\web-inf\classes directory. So How will I set the classpath for myclass to work?
thanks.

I was able to simulate your problem when I created a mismatch in the case of the name of the class.
for example if my program is called MyClass.java
and in the import I do <@page import="myclass" %>
Are you sure about the case of class name that you are using? Please check that the file is called myclass.java the class defined inside it is called myclass and the class file that is copied into the WEB-INF/classes directory is also myclass.class. There should be no difference in the case of the names. like MyClass.java or MyclaSS.class
Other things to check are
1. If myclass is defined in a package then you have to import with the package.
2. Make sure that your jsp is located in the myprojects directory and the class file is copied under myprojects/WEB-INF/classes.
Let me know if things still don't work
regards,
Abhishek.

Why don't my pdf forms import into Word or Pages properly?

Why is it that when I create a form in Acrobat Pro, fill it out and save it as a pdf file, and then import or place the saved file in either a Word or Pages document that ONLY the form fields are visible and not the filled in data? I've tried everything I know and it happens each time. Thanks.

Have you actually tried to do it in a PC Version. Usually it’s the other way round. Usually something can be done with little effort in PC Version, and not in Mac version. Or is PIA to do in the Mac version. Adobe takes as little effort as possibly with the Mac version of any of their products. They and many companies still have the notion for anyone that wants to do serious work, you use a PC. Mac's are considered play toys.
If given the proper software with equal features a Mac is more than capable of handling any job a PC can.

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying?

Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

I frequently get an "Unknown Import error" when opening an appleworks WP document with Pages.

I am trying to use Pages to convert Appleworks 6.9 WP documents - but I sometimes get an "unknown import error" dialog when I try to import the file into Pages. What does this mean, and is there any way to get around it. (I have not yet converted to Lion, so I can open the document in AW - but cutting and pasting into pages loses a lot of formatting so I would rather not have to go that route.)

Thanks. I don't actually think this is generally the case, though. (In fact, when I have had AW files that included graphics created by AW they seem to have converted smoothly).
Why can't Apple give an informative message instead of "Unknown Import Error"?

I'm trying to open a word file on my iMac and it keeps saying Import error: the file format is invalid. Why?

I exported a file on my imac as a word document but now I can't open it. It says Import error: The file format is invalid.

If no on this forum can help you then I would recommend reposting on the Office for Mac Product Forums.

Error on Page import

I installed Oracle Portal 3.0.8.9.8 on Windows 2000.
I am trying to import the page
pageimp.cmd -s portal30 -p portal30 -o portal30 -m new -d d:\0p\csumb.dmp -c newdb
and getting error:

I got the same error trying to install MyCompany demo.
Please help !!!!!!!!!!!

Can you provide some additional info? For e.g., what is the version of Portal from where you exported the page, What does the page contain, etc. Remember, export-import does not work in between versions i.e., you cannot export from 3.0.7 and import into 3.0.8

An error with tag " %@ page import" that imports EJBs

Hello,
I write an small examples demonstrate how EJB,Java Persistences and JSP work together.
I have one session bean:
+CustomerSession.java
+CustomerSessionLocal.java
+CustomerSessionRemote.java
and some persistence classes:
+Address
+Customer
+Subscription
Well, my JSP page looks like:
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %>
<fmt:setBundle basename="LocalStrings"/>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page import="javax.naming.InitialContext" %>
<%@ page import="enterprise.customer_cmp_ejb.persistence.Customer" %>
<%@ page import="enterprise.customer_cmp_ejb.persistence.Subscription" %>
<%@ page import="enterprise.customer_cmp_ejb.ejb.session.*" %>
<%@ page import='java.util.*' %>
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Object o = ic.lookup("java:comp/env/CustomerSessionLocal");

I don't understand why. However, i also try editing the web.xml as follow:
<ejb-local-ref>
<description> EJB Session</description>
<ejb-ref-name>CustomerSessionLocal</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home/>
<local>
enterprise.customer_cmp_ejb.ejb.session.CustomerSessionLocal
</local>
<ejb-link>CustomerSession</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>
In spite of trying hard, the build can't complete.
I hope I'll get your supports.
Thanks very much!!!

Where is PA ? I just know La because LA Lakers (I
hate this team and i like Kings and Rockets because of
YAO MING, haha )Opposite side of the country. PA stands for Pennsylvania, on the East coast. LA (Los Angeles) is in California on the West coast. Philadelphia's basketball team is the 76ers, but they don't play the Lakers,
Kings, or Rockets very often.
As for my other info, I'm sorry, I don't give that out to people. Just a personal policy.

I have produced my Family History in Appleworks over several years. This morning I tried to open some documents and now get the message "Import Error not a Presentation" so I cannot open the documents. Those that will open appear to be in PAGES layout. n

I have produced my Family History over the past few years in Appleworks. This morning I tried opening several documents and got the message 'Import Error Not a Presentation. Some that did open were in a different layout. KEYNOTE and PAGES in the Dock flashed as I tried to open my documents. How can I regain my documents in their original format ?

You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens.
