Alternative Visio Viewer for .vdw files

Hi, all!
Since Visio viewer is not included in STD license Sharepoint 2013, I need to find alternative viewer.
Can someone suggest alternatives?

You can implement something similar using Aspose Visio Diagram:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/diagramnet/Export+Diagram+to+HTML It's a commercial product, and I'm not affiliated to them in any way, there are probably a lot more options out there, but this one does the job nicely.
Kind regards,

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

Making Quicktime the default viewer for .wmv files.

Whenever I try to open a .wmv file, my default program is iphoto. I have Flip4Mac and I want to use Quicktime to be the default viewer for it. I know how I can get each file to open with Quicktime, but I want it to be permanent. For instance, I download a .wmv file and I want to double click the new file on my desktop and Quicktime comes up so I can view the video. I figure this is a very simple thing to do, I just don't know where to change it. Please help. Thank you.

I find that this does not work- pilot error I'm sure.
When I right click on a .wmv file and chose "Get Info", a small window appears that has a section titled "Open With".It defaults to "Windows Media Player" and has a drop down window, offering me a choice of "Other..."
When I select "Other" a window opens that lets me chose an application. I select Quick Time Player and hit "Add". QT then populates the drop down window. I then select "Change ALL" which causes another window to open that asks "Are you sure you want all your Windows Media Player documents to open with the application Quick Time Player?". I answer "Continue" and as soon as I do that Windows Media Player is replaced in the Get Info window as the "Open With" choice.
I can't see how to make the change. Help!!

Faster alternative to cfcontent for large file downloads?

I am using cfcontent to securely download files so the user
can not see the path the file is stored in. With small files this
is fine, but with large 100mb+ files, it is much, much slower than
a straight html anchor tag. Does anyone have a fast alternative to
using cfheader/cfcontent for large files?
Thanks

You should be able to use Java to handle this, either through
a custom tag or you might be able to call the Java classes directly
in Coldfusion. I don't know much about Java, but I found this
example on the Web and got it to work for uploading files. Here's
an example of the code. Hope it gives you some direction:

PDF viewer for large files

Hello,
i want to view a very large PDF file (~1GB, ~500 pages). The viewers i tested (okular, evince, xpdf) are slow: if i browse through the document one page loads a specific time and is displayed. If i switch to the next page i have to wait again.
Is there a viewer that loads the rest of the document while i read the first pages to scroll through the document without waiting after a while?

Thanks so long.
acroread renders the pages very fast. That's what i want - but it's proprietary:/
For the moment it's ok but i'd like to have a free alternative to acroread that shows the pages as quick as acroread or preloads more than 1 page.
lucke wrote:Perhaps, just perhaps it'd work better if you copied it to tmpfs and read from there?
I've tried it: no improvement.
Edit: tried Sumatra: an improvement compared to Okular etc. Thanks.

Do not want viewer for RAW files - want to open directly in photoshop

I have Photoshop Extended as part of CS4. I am trying to open RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark II for batch processing. Each time the RAW file is opened it brings up some form of viewer where I need to click OPEN Image. This prevents me from automating my actions on multiple files. Please help.

How are you batch processing the camera files?
You can use File>Scripts>Image>Processor or File>Automate>Batch
Wiith batch if you check Suppress File Open Option dialogs, then the camera raw dialog won't open.

Tiff viewer for text files.

I recently purchased an iPad 3. I need to view and sign tiff files that are text form sent from my office. How can I save them and send them back? The only information I can find so far are referring to picture files. What type of app do I need?

All I could find is a tiff viewer:

There are computer apps that can convert them to PDFs and there are many PDF readers apps for the iPad that allow you to sign/annotate PDFs. GoodReader is one. There is also PDF Annotate.

Making preview default viewer for pdf files

Hi,
On my macbook I have the preinstalled 'preview' software and I've recently installed Adobe reader. I much prefer using preview for some functions, but since I installed Adobe reader all pdf files automatically open in that program. I've noticed that when I choose the software to open file with Adobe is now listed as 'default'. Does anyone know how to make preview default rather than Adobe reader?

Hi James,
Chose any PDF file you got already and select it ones ... now get info and a NEW window will open.
Now, somewhere ad the end of this NEW window you will see *Open with* select Preview and select ALL.
Close the window ...
Now the next time you open a PDF it will be opening with Preview.
Good luck ...

JDeveloper settings - change the default code editor view for JSPx files

Hi, when you open a .JSPX or JSP page the editor opens in 'design' mode. Is there a way to change this default behavior and open in 'source' mode? I write the JSF/JSP pages editing code and every time I open a new page I have to wait till the IDE opens in view mode and then manually switch to source mode by hand.
Thanks
Jordi

A year and a half after this post, and I still have this same issue as well. Even 10.1.3.3 has it.
Thanks for posting the solution as this will now save me lots of time waiting and often re-starting JDeveloper.

How to disable IE Security Warning on opening a "local" visio file with Visio Viewer ActiveX?

Hello all,
Everyone knows that Microsoft released ActiveX based Visio Viewer for free and allow the users to open Visio drawing and view/print via IE browser.
The problem that I am facing is that some users are complaining about IE browser's security warning on "active content to run in files on My Computer".
It means that opening .VSD files from the network, internet, intranet would be all OK but if the user wants to open .VSD files from the local hard drive (or open it as a mail attachment, which will extract it to a temp folder), it prompt the user to select "Allow Blocked Content" EVERYTIME they open them.
I know that I can GLOBALLY disable this warning by going through Tools - Internet Options - Security section and enable "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" but I hope that there is a way (or workaround) to allow them by file type or location, etc.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to disable those warning for all .VSD only while we still UNCHECK the option on Internet Options?
2. Is there any 3rd party Win32 based viewer which wouldn't have those restriction?
3. Is it safe assumption that McAfee VirusScan and Host IPS protection is sufficient enough to remove the IE's security warning feature?
Thanks in advance?
Young-

Are you able to host/launch the VSD file via an HTM page? In that case you can format the HTM page as shown below. This will trick IE into thinking it is loading the file off of a website. Commonly called 'mark of the web'.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

WinHelp viewer for Windows 7

Just in case anyone may need it, Microsoft have released a viewer for WinHelp files under Windows 7. Click here to download it.

Well, I have the Adobe Cloud subscription which includes InDesign, so installing the Adobe Content Viewer is not a problem.
All I really want to know is if you can use touch controls to navigate in Adobe Contnet Viewer on the MS Surface. It could be unlikely but as Neil said above, it might magicly work : )
The reason I am looking at the Surface is because I thought it would be a good portfolio/presentation device to show to clients in a tablet form that could also show Flash which most tablets can't.
If it could show Adobe Content Viewer folios that I have already created for the iPad and utilize touch controls, that would be the best solution.

Quick look not working for office files from mail

I installed the new Microsoft Powerpoint on my ipad to check it out. I didn't really like it so I uninstalled it. Now when I am in mail and try to view a Powerpoint presention (or any other office file), quick look opens with just the name and size of the file rather than letting me view the file. I am assuming installing Powerpoint somehow disabled Quick View for those files. How do I fix this? I really need to be able to read office files from Mail on my ipad!!

It sounds like you may have 2 different programs that support quicklook differently. I suspect the .doc files are different formats that are using one or the other application.
A quick test - select a file with the full preview. Get info on it in the Finder (File > Get Info) see what application it is set to open with by default. I suspect this will be TextEdit or MS Word. Compare this to a file that has no preview in quicklook. Change over the default application to the other application and see if the preview appears.
My understanding is that the software has to be aware of quick look to parse the document and create the preview. It could be that one of the softwares needs an update, or is too old to support quicklook.
you should be able to see the version number by opening the application and using the About menu under the Application menu. Post them here if the above doesn't work.
You may also compare the 'Kind' in the info dialog, it could be that they are slightly different formats. Opening and saving may generate the previews (keep the originals if you do this!)

Sharepoint Visio Services .vdw file not getting refreshed

Hello,
I recently imported an orgchart in visio from (sql server table, excel sheet) that created shapes for me. And I can publish the file as .vdw on a sharepoint library and it works fine over there. But I wanted to refresh the data as the data in sql table
or excel sheet chages. So I linked to datasource on visio to excel sheet(saved on sharepoint same library where the .vdw file is) and did automatically link the shapes with the external data. Refresh works fine on the visio file. But after I publish to sharepoint(in
the publish settings datasource is selected) as vdw file, and I make some changes to excel file, and click refresh on the vdw file viewed in browser I dont see any data changes. I tried several different ways like connecting to data connection library pointing
to sql table etc. Nothing seems to refresh the data in vdw file. Am I missing something? Appreciate help.
thank you.

Hi,
I understand that you failed to refresh Visio Services .vdw file.
It is a configuration problem in Central Administration.
You need to create Target Application and associate it with Visio Services.
Here is a similar blog for your reference:
http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2010/10/visio-services-wont-refresh-in-sharepoint-2010how-to-fix-it/
If the issue still exists, I recommend to log into Central Administration, clicked on the SharePoint Health Analyzer and see the issues.
In addition, you can check the SharePoint ULS log to find more information about this error, the ULS log file is in the location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\14\LOGS
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

Visio viewer will not open embedded .vsd file in word 2007

I am trying to open a .vsd file that is embedded in a word 2007 document. The user who embedded it had Visio 2007 and i only have visio viewer 2010 sp2 and IE 9. When clicking on the .vsd to open it i recieve an error that states:
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, renamed, or blocked by policy.
There is a user that can open the embedded file but they have Visio application as well as Visio viewer. It opens in Visio Application on that persons machine. The icon in word shows the Visio applications image. Does the embedded document have some sort
of defaulted program associated with it, ie (Visio 2007)? Or should this document be able to be opened with visio viewer?

Was anyone able to solve this?
I encounter the exact same problem, visio viewer 2013 + IE11 cannot open Visio files which are embedded in a word document, although it is possible to open regular visio files which are not embedded,
I know it is possible to extract the visio files from the word document (by renaming the .docx extension to .zip and copy the file from the word\embeddings folder), but I would like to know if there is a fix for this behaviour so it will be possible to open
visio files embedded in word document directly from the Word document using Visio viewer?
thanks
