Any way to search by document type?

New to mac. I'm trying to search out all Pages or all Doc files. (Clicking "docutments" gives me too many doc sytles, including .jpg.) I tried *.pages or *.doc and it obviously is not the answer. I'd like to save this search or others that target specific applications. How is this done?
Thanks,
wr

Thank you for your suggestion. It works for .doc, but unfortunately, it does not work with .Pages, which is a mystery to me. I noticed if I "show info" for a pages file and then uncheck "hide extension" then it works. However all new files are hidden unless I manually uncheck hide extension. I tried a "global" unhide extension, but still no difference.

  • Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

    Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test
    #See:

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • Any way to search for transparent items?

    Is there any way to search for items that have an opacity of less than 100%?  I found that some of the advertisements I placed inexplicably came in at 76% opacity.  And I noticed some tiny endmark graphics came in with 0% opacity.  I don't know why.  I'm just trying to make sure I didn't miss correcting anything.
    Thanks, Phyllis

    Err, whoops. That's not going to work, because there's not a list of images in the document, only a list by page. And it's probably better to use Graphics instead, which include, e.g., PDFs.  So you probably want instead:
    var d=app.activeDocument, im=d.allGraphics, i;
    for (i=0; i<im.length; i++) {
      if (im[i].transparencySettings.blendingSettings.opacity < 80) {
        alert("Page "+im[i].parentPage.name+" has "+
          im[i].itemLink.filePath);
    And this iterates over Graphics which are the things inside containers (like rectangles). You might have the transparency applied to the container rectangle instead, in which case you'd probably need to replace allGraphics with allPageItems, except then it would fail on all the objects that don't have a transparency property [sigh...], so you'd need something (ick) like this:
    var d=app.activeDocument, im=d.allPageItems, i;
    for (i=0; i<im.length; i++) {
      try {
       if (im[i].transparencySettings.blendingSettings.opacity < 80) {
          alert("Page "+im[i].parentPage.name+" has "+
            im[i].itemLink.filePath);
      } catch (e) { }

    No, Apple can't help.  Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode.  For that mode see:

  • Any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features

    Is there any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features?
    In our Webcenter Portal app, we create the PDF document with the content of ADF pages and check it in UCM using RIDC api.
    There will some batch job which will retrieve the documents from UCM and send them to client internal Document management system. The client / batch job will only process TIFF files. So we need a way to convert the PDF into TIFF. We are okie to have both PDF and TIFF stored in UCM.
    When i have done research, i could only see components like PDFexport or TIFFConverter which only converts the other formats into PDF. But i am expecting a reverse conversion. Is it possible ? Thanks

    You could take a shot through the link above.

  • Any way to update PO document through DTW without using "Doc Entry"

    Dear all,
    Just have a question.
    I need to use DTW to update existing PO document. I realized that I have to have Doc Entry to be entered in the DTW template.
    Is there any way to update PO document through DTW without using that field, "Doc Entry"?
    thanks
    Tony

    Tony,
    A similar situation related to Bank files was resolved with one of my clients on the following way...
    The file from the Vendor can be an any order or format on the Excel.  Till the time it is consistant it should work fine..
    We created a Job in SQL Server to read this Excel file and to use the DocNum to get the DocEntry from SAP PO and output another excel file which is exactly the template format for PO Update.
    This may even not be required in your case.....
    You can get this done through an Excel Macro....which will connect to the database and using the DocNum get the DocEntry and update the Excel....
    This is 100% achievable and a better solution for regular use

  • Is there any way to change the document size from scene to scene?

    I'm building a portfolio site, but I need the document size to be different from each scene.  I'd rather not create a separate swf/html file for each page since that would disrupt the transition between scenes (not to mention all the wok I went through to get the dropdown menus working).
    For instance, the "home" scene is structured for 1200x670 px, but the portfolio scene labeled "published" needs to be at 1200x1500px.
    Is there any way to change the document size from scene to scene?  OR; If, for instance, I made the universal document size 1200x1500 for the entire flash file, is there a script that would restrict the "home" scene to only show the first 670 pixels?

    not in flash alone.
    you may be able to do what you want using javascript in your html document and using the externalinterface class to communicate between your actionscript the embedding html javascript.

    The apple algorithm for detecting duplicates is not great. I did this yesterday on a library which had got bloated by various itunes 'organisations' and had 15000 songs in it and downloaded idupe. It seemed to work very well and got me down to 10,000 songs. 8USD shareware.

  • Is there any way to reset the file type to "Adobe Acrobat Document" rather than "pdf file"?

    An update from WordPerfect automatically installed Foxit on my computer without warning me.  I uninstalled it and reinstalled CS5 and Acrobat 11 but when I look at a list of files in Windows Explorer, all of my PDF files are simply listed as "PDF file" rather than "Adobe Acrobat Document".  I rely on the Adobe name to get my PDF listed at the top of list of files when I sort by document type for something that I need to do 4 or 5 times a day.  Having it buried under "PDF" is causing lots of errors.
    I've tried searching the registry but can't find anything that would make this change.  I know it's related to the computer because when I use my laptop to view the same folder on the desktop, the laptop shows the files as "Adobe Acrobat Document".  I just don't know where to look to fix this.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    GiGi

    I have already reinstalled both Adobe Reader and the full version of CS5 which includes Adobe Pro.  Neither of those steps worked.

  • Any way to search for casts in java source code?

    Anyone know of a decent way to search your java source files to find all the casts?
    I ended up doing a simple text search for
         " = ("(quote marks not included) which works for my code because I am strict about writing my casts with spaces like
         String s = (String) iterator.next();Unfortunately, the above search has all kinds of problems with both false positives and negatives. It picks up lots of irrelevant lines like
         int index = (number > 0) ? 0 : 1;as well as misses casts that appear nested inside expressions like
         ((String) iter.next()).charAt(...)I suppose that one could do a regular expression search for any pair of open and close parens which bound non-blank text, but that would pick up even more non-cast expressions in typical java code.
    I think that the only way to properly do this is to have a tool which understands java syntax.
    Anyone know of an IDE which will do this? Does IntelliJ or Netbeans support this kind of search?
    In case you are wondering why I am interested in this, it is because I am refactoring some code to fully use generics, and searching for casts is one source of identifying candidates for genericity.
