Attaching large amounts of text as either a file or or pdf document.

Good Evening!
I would like to attach a file (.txt, .rtf, .doc, or .pdf) to provide additional information to a database record. I'm wondering what is the most efficient way to do this. It would also be nice to be able to search the document. I know that I can attache "key worlds" to the document, but I would prefer to actually be able to search the content.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Charles

Why each time I try to save my day's work,version WITH mark-ups and version w/o, does it say "you have placed a large amount of text on clipboard do you want to access this? What is clipboard and how can I just save my work in its proper file?

I don't get this clipboard thing! I have created two files, one for the MS with mark-ups, and one for the unmarred version, each living in their own spot in my "house." It seems to be merging the two versions and I have to go in and re-paste and then it always says "you have placed a large amount of text on clipboard do you want to be able to access this?" and it prompts me to say no but I am afraid I'll lose my day's work so I just tap cancel. I highlight the day's revision and select "copy" to paste into the unmarked doc. before I save on the marked up or working doc. It is when I try to close that one that the clipboard issue pops up. What can you tell be about saving doc. in two places and how to NOT get it on clipboard? Thanks! I am not super computer savvy so layperson's language much appreciated!

Are you using Microsoft word? Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users. I have seen this message from Microsoft word. It's annoying.
As BDaqua points out...
When you copy information via edit > copy, command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information. Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes. command + s does a save.

How can I get a large amount of text in imovie?..look inside, I'll explain

Ok....say I have:
'Roy Lichtenstein was born October 27, 1923, in New York City. He describes his childhood as quiet and uneventful. His father was a realtor, and his mother was a housewife. Art was not taught at the school he attended, but when he was 14, he began taking Saturday-morning classes at the Parsons' School of Design.'
I want to insert it into imovie in between clips in black. I have my black clip, length x, but there doesn't seem to be any TITLE functions that accomodate placing a large amount of text that all appears at the same time and doesn't move, etc.
the best solution i've come up with is to use the music video setting which basically gives me what I want except for the fact that all the text is on one half of the screen and the longest you can use this funtion is for 10 seconds! it's a compromise I don't really want to make when it seems like there should be a simple solution that maybe I'm just not seeing which lets me transfer text from appleworks or wherever to fill the screen with text so that it looks 'normal'.

create that chart with any pic processor and import via iPhoto... so, you could even add a "scrolling"
and:
a pic processor gives you a much higher control about typography...
beware, that a TV is no computer monitor - it isn't made for "reading", has a much smaller res, interlaces video, ..

Importing a large amount of text into InDesign (Newbie question!)

Hello all,
I am new to InDesign and would really appreciate some tips/advice on how best to transfer a large amount of text from Microsoft Word into an InDesign document. I have been tasked with creating a very simple pocket sized book, the content of which will be a series of business Acronyms (700+) and their defintions (just imagine a very simple dictionary). As you can imagine there is a lot of text in the Microsoft Word document so any advice on how to transfer it all as quickly as possible would be really helpful. Or, as the case may be, would it be simpler to just use another programme?
Can you paste/import all - or large chunks of - a word document in one go? If I format a master page will Adobe InDesign automatically paste the text into the required number of pages? Or do i have to do it page by page from a clipboard?
Obviously I am not expecting InDesign to format the text perfectly on each page, I just want to dump it all in one go and then go back and tidy it all up.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Matthew

File > Place.... and navigate to the Word file. Show Import Options to allow you to preserve the Word Formatting, or dump it, or map styles to ne styles in your ID document.
If you have a text frame on your master page, put the loaded cursor over the frame area on your document page and watch for the cursor to change so it is surrounded by parentheses, then hold the Shift key and click. If you don't have a master frame (and most experienced users will tell you that more than 90% of the time a master text frame is more hindrence than help if you set your margins correctly), hold the Shift key and click where you want the top of the first column to start.
In both cases, ID will add pages as required to place the entire document and thread the text through all the frames. If using master frames, they will be linked and overrridden onto the document page automatically, if not, your first frame will start where you click and extend down to the bottom margin and succeeding frames will fill the column guides (hence mention of setting your margins correctly).
ID is a professional program and you really need to spend some time learning how it works. One good place to start is the Help files. Another is Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide to InDesign. If you prefer video training, Lynda.com has good content.

Best way to handle large amount of text

hello everyone
My project involves handling large amount of text.(from
conferences and
reports)
Most of them r in Ms Word. I can turn them into RTF format.
I dont want to use scrolling. I prefer turning pages(next,
previous, last,
contents). which means I need to break them into chunks.
Currently the process is awkward and slow.
I know there wud b lots of people working on similar
projects.
Could anyone tell me an easy way to handle text. Bring them
into cast and
break them.
any ideas would be appreciated
thanx
ahmed

Hacking up a document with lingo will probably loose the rtf
formatting
information.
Here's a bit of code to find the physical position of a given
line of on
screen text (counting returns is not accurate with word
wrapped lines)
This stragety uses charPosToLoc to get actual position for
the text
member's current width and font size
maxHeight = 780 -- arbitrary display height limit
T = member("sourceText").text
repeat with i = 1 to T.line.count
endChar = T.line[1..i].char.count
lineEndlocV = charPosToLoc(member "sourceText",
endChar).locV
if lineEndlocV > maxHeight then -- fount "1 too many"
line
-- extract identified lines "sourceText"
-- perhaps repeat parce with remaining part of "sourceText"
singlePage = T.line[1..i - 1]
member("sourceText").text = T.line[i..99999] -- put remaining
text back
into source text member

How do I delete a large amount of text messages without clearing my SD card?

I have a large amount of text messages that I need to delete because the system is slow but don't want to clear my SD card for fear of losing all my pictures.

Hi, you didn't say much about the problem but hope this helps. The system should not be slow unless the messages are on the phone memory; not the card. Regardless of where the messages are, you should be able to delete them without any risk unless you are talking about wiping your card which should be unnecessary. I just read of two apps; one for backup if you want to make a copy and one to delete large threads. The large threads were causing people problems. I am assuming the messages are not on the card.

Large Amount of text data in a Field

I have a VB front end application and now need to store what could be a very large amount of text data in one field (ie more that a varchar field can hold) What data type could i use for the field and what is the capacity of this field
Thanks

hi
BFILE is a data type in Oracle that allows you to store the location and name of any file. To store large anounts of text data, you better use this type. You can store all the txt into a '.dat" or".txt" or still ".rtf" and then save the file name and its location in the Oracle Database. I believe that ione can save upto 4gb of Data using this type. I never used this data tye, but just read about it in documentation. Hope it works.
All the best.

Redistributing Large Amounts of Media to Different Project Files

Hello
I'm working on a WWI documentary that requires an extremely large amount of Media. I was just wondering, if (besides exporting hundreds of QT files), perhaps just capturing all of this media, (spread out), into several FCP Project Files?
In the screen shot below, note that there are 2 FCP projects open at one time. Why? Because I thought it might help re-distrtibuting all the captured media into more than just one FCP Project file. Is this advisable? Would creating more FCP files containing more and media actually be better than capturing soooo many captured archival clips into just one main FCP Project file?
Or
Should I be exporting 'Non-Self Contained' files to be re-imported back into the Project?
Screen Shot;
http://www.locationstudio.net/Redistribute-1.jpg
Thanx
Mike

It is absolutely advisable. This keeps project sizes down to manageable levels. This is one of the tips I give in my tutorial DVD on Getting Organized with Final Cut Pro.
Bear in mind, that if your footage and sequences are in different projects, you cannot match back to the clip in the Browser. Once a clip is cut into a sequence that resides in a different project, the link from that media and the original clip in it's original project is broken. That can be a pain, so I try not to break up projects unless I have to. And LARGE projects I find that I have to.
ALthough it can still be a pain. When you need to find the footage that you know is in the same bin as that clip...and you don't know what that bin is? Sorry...match back doesn't work. So, just a caviat.

Performing OCR text recognition in all pages of a PDF document which has blank pages

The PDF pages in the file are scanned as an image, but there are blank pages also. So, page 1, 2 have images of scanned text, page 3 is blank, pages 4, 5, have images of scanned text, page 6 is blank and so on.The series of blank pages is 3, 6, 9....
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9 on Windows XP. I choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->All pages. But, the OCR stops after page 2.
Then, I go to page 4 and find that it is still an image(and I cannot copy the text from it). So, then I have to choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->All pages. But, the OCR stops after page 6.
The document has some 200 pages and I don't want to manually do the choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->All pages for all pages which have text.
I also tried choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->Page 1 to page 200, but that too does not work.
I can manually go to each blank page, delete it, then do the OCR but that would be tedious.
1. Am I missing something in doing the OCR of all pages?
2. Can I set up a batch process to do the delete of blank page series or can I set up a batch process which does OCR of all pages(and does not stop at a blank page) as it is doing now?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hm, you could convert every pdf-page to a image file (jpeg, etc.):
-install the package imagemagick
-use the command convert
convert -trim -density 150 your.pdf your.jpg
This will generate a jpg-file for every pdf-page; "-trim" removes the white margins, density specifies the resolution of the page (you could also try "-resize" instead of "-density") and 150 specifies amount of dots per inch.
This does not generate a new pdf-file, but maybe there is a way to convert the images back into a single pdf?

How do I convert specific images on my clipboard to text once pasting the image onto my .pdf document?

Hey Adobe experts, I could really use your help.
I have a couple screen shots from school lectures that I pasted onto OneNote. These screenshots have substantial amount of text I could use. I have created a big .pDF document where I have been saving my notes and text. Now - how do I convert the SPECIFIC images I paste onto the document into text? I'm using the word "Specific" here because I know I can run OCR on a blank page without any text. But how do I run OCR on an image
It automatically happened a couple times when I tried saving the document immediately after I pasted the image - when I was under "edit PDF" I was able to edit and change fonts of the text. But how do I do this at will? Is there a special button somewhere?
P.S. I already tried OCR - but this is only limited to pages without already "renderable text".
I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC; Windows 8.1 machine

Hi SinNombre,
If you are referring to running OCR on a page with image and renderable text, it is not supported. However, you could use the following workaround for the same:
1. Print the PDF document to Microsoft XPS Document Writer or go to File->Export to...->Image-> (Any format example TIFF or PNG)
2. Convert the output created to PDF. This PDF will contain all text and images as images.
3. Run OCR on this PDF.
This should resolve your problem

Using Oracle Text to search through WORD, EXCEL and PDF documents

Hello again,
What I would like to know is if I have a WORD or PDF document stored in a table. Is it possible to use Oracle Text to search through the actual WORD or PDF document?
Thanks
Doug

Yes you can do context sensitive searches on both PDF and Word docs. With the PDF you need to make sure they are text and not images. Some scanners will create PDFs that are nothing more than images of document.
Below is code sample that I made some time back to demonstrate the searching capabilities of Oracle Text. Note that the example makes use of the inso_filter that is no longer shipped with Oracle begging with Patch set 10.1.0.4. See metalink note 298017.1 for the changes. See the following link for more information on developing with Oracle Text.

UNreadable text and missing images in sync'd pdf documents in iBooks

Hi,
i was quite excited when i heard that iBooks 1.1 was going to be able to open pdf documents, so following an update to 1.1, i loaded up a number of pdfs onto the iPad, the majority worked perfectly, however i noticed that a couple, (when opened), all the embedded images were missing and in another document the text was unreadable, sort of looked like the text was overlapping with each other.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

All kinds of things can go wrong when reading pdfs, which can be made in variety of different ways. If the problem pdfs display fine in OS X Preview and Adobe Reader, best to let Apple know about need to fix iBooks reader via

Sending large amounts of text to a stored procedure

All,
I have created an email application using stored procedures that
sends email from the database.
I then created a portal form on top of the stored procedure so
that I may do my data entry. My form takes 2
parameters: "subject" and "message". The "To:" list is
generated dynamically by the database.
For my "message" data entry, I have created a text area which I
will paste my email text (html format) into.
When I attempt to submit my email, I am getting the following
errors:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk bind: Error in
define
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string
buffer too small (WWV-11230)
I know that it is NOT a problem with the HTML text as I have
tested this.
Does anyone have any ideas what it may be?
Thanks,
Jon.

John,
Portal forms process data using varchar fields, I understood
there to be a limit, well below that of the 32767 limit of the
varchar because of with it does with it.
How close is your data to this limit?

How to create a plugin to stamp texts and not an image into a pdf document

How to create plugin to stamp texts and not an image.. i just want it to work like the stamper plugin found in sdk sample but here i need text to be stamped instead of an image.. Is it possible? kindly give me some ideas?how to go about it.. can this be done by modfying the stamper sample code?
Thank you

This is possible, but it is a serious project, not something to be cut around from sample code. You will need to study the "graphics" and "text" chapters of the PDF specification in some detail to understand the PDF graphics model, including colour spaces, graphics state, and transformation matrixes; if working with annotations understand them and the requirement for appearance stream. There are various ways to add content to a PDF, but the PDFEdit API is probably the most accessible.

Texts cuts off when I open a pdf document

I bought an ebook and whenever I open it in Adobe Reader the text on the right side is partially cut off. I thought it was a page size thing, but that didn't work at all. I've opened it in other formats so I know nothing is wrong with the file. I just find it weird as I've never had this issue with Adobe and can't figure out what to do.

Yeah. I thought it was because the zoom was so high. It was at like 300% but when i zoomed out to 100 the document itself just shrank so it was a page in the middle of a grey background, but the text was totally uneffected.
