Attachment opens as plain text when opened from outside outlook but original format is html...

Hello all,
I have a strange issue with some mails where the attachments which are normally in html format are opening as plain text with an empty body (when opened outside outlook). As soon as i move them to outlook then they open correctly. I already tried many things
like checking if it could be the antivirus that messed up the html or the security settings in outlook none of these worked.
Did someone of you already experienced that ?
Thanks for your support.

Hello Melianos,
What application do you use for opening emails with attachments? What code do you use? Could you please be more specific?

Number format changed after opening a plain text file in Excel

Hi,
I have an urget need to understand about how to open a plain text file in Excel with numbers displayed as is. The text file is tab delimited. Right now, extra digits (0, or 00 ) are added. For example, 31:16 from text file is displayed as 31:16:00,
15:0 becomes 15:00, 6:5 becomes 6:05. How to display the numbers as they are in the original text file?
Thank you very much for the help.
Amy

This is a annoying problem.
Excel will try to guess the data type if you leave the cell formatting as general.This happens a lot with specific numerical entries that could be confused as dates.e.g. 12:0,1-5 etc.Unfortunatley We can't tell Excel to stop reading it as a date, but what you
can do is tell it to display the date how you want it.
In addtion,in order to avoid confusion and keep track of troubleshooting steps, we usually troubleshoot one issue per thread. So if you need any further help, please create a new post.Thanks for your understanding.

In Design CS4 drops text when opening

We have an issue involving opening pre existing ID files doesn’t matter which version they were created in, and when they are opened and you are prompted to find fonts and you replace them with our fonts, which by the way are the Adobe OTF Master Collection, text drops randomly throughout the file. The actual text box is still there but it is empty. We have this issue with customer submitted files also. For example, if the file was created in ID CS2 and you open it in its native version it is fine, same thing with files created in CS3, but when you try it in CS4 you run the risk of losing text. Even after you replace the text that is missing, the next time you open that file if it happens to be on another machine you run the risk of dropping text again. Even when you open it on the original machine there is a chance of dropping text. PLEASE HELP!

Well you are not the only, we have tried so many different things, I have
Adobe looking into also and have not heard anything yet.

Forms Opening is Very slow when opened from Client PC's.

All,
We are running forms application in 10.1.2.0 application server. We have a peculiar issue of slowness while opening forms from client PC's and not while opening from application server itself.
1) When opening the form from a Windows 7 PC it takes around 25 seconds
2) When opening the form from a Windows XP PC it takes around 15 seconds
3) When opening the form from the application server itself it took less than 3 seconds .
In essence all forms when opened from application server are opening very fast and when opened from client PC's it takes undue time. What might be the reason for the same, can anyone help us and we are pondering over this issue for some time. What are the files of interest to be visited for these kind of issues. We enabled tracing level 5 in JRE and could not find any thing fishy over it.
Request application server and forms experts to participate and help us to resolve.
Thanks in advance.

Even if it's a generic issue you need to break it down in smaller parts to actually get a clue what's causing your problem. By now there is nothing we can rule out as the only thing we know is that it's slow on the client PC's.
Building a small dummy form as suggested by Andreas is a good starting point. If the performance is also bad for a small form with one block you can rule out that it has anything to do with forms and it's caused by e.g. your network. If the small form performs well rebuild one of your forms step by step and do tests for each step. By that you should find what's causing troubles.
What you can also take a look at are network roundtrips: You have to set the console window of your forms, and enable networkstats in your formsweb.cfg
networkStats=yesA typical cause for (unnecessary) roundtrips are e.g. calls to the synchronize built in or timers. If you are using Javabeans you should also take a look at them. If you are looking at your network traffic wireshark is your friend ;).

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

All attachments opening as plain text

Apparently without any changing of settings the mail program is opening all attachments as plain text. This occurs although the program is available to open the attachment. I know the attachments can be saved to the desktop and then opened, but this causes clutter and many attachments are not worthy of saving. Any suggestions on restoring the mail program to seeking the proper application to match the attachment. I have tried searching all the menus and cannot get View>message>best alternative to be highlighted and selectable. Thank you for any suggestions.

''re: not displaying any incoming messages with html.''
Do you have this setting ?
'View' > 'Message Body as ' > 'Original HTML'
BTW - you may prefer to see all the toolbars. They can be enabled - see image below.

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

Illustrator CS3 No Text when opening PDF

This happens to certain .pdf files when opened in Adobe Illustrator 13.0.x.
http://www.cigar3tte.net/images/illustrator_error1.jpg
(The scratches are from me, to take out company info)
Note that all the fields are blank, but when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat 6.0, all those fields are filled with the proper information.
I have looked at 3 different computers loaded with Illustrator 13.0.x, and 2 of them are doing this, while 1 has no problems at all. I'm unable to find the different at the moment.
Hopefully some of you know what's going on and can help me solve this.

It seems the PC's have issues with Helvetica.
Ah... the missing piece of the puzzle.
Illustrator ignores fonts embedded in PDF documents. Illustrator assumes you want to
edit rather than simply
view the document, so it insists that you have the necessary fonts installed on your system.
The PCs on which you can read the document properly (in Illustrator) have Helvetica installed.

Safari not opening in landscape mode when opening links from mail

Hello,
Since the update to iOS8 I experience following: when using my iphone in landscape mode, opening links from the default mail app doesn't open Safari in landscape mode. I have to manually tilt the phone to portrait mode and back to get landscape mode.
When opening Safari manually in landscape mode, it works fine.
Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Hey there streatuac,
It sounds like the Safari app is not automatically switching to landscape when you open a link from the mail app on your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on your phone first:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

AcroRd32 Opens and Then Closes when Invoked from VB in PowerPoint

Hi,
I am trying to open a pdf file embedded in a PowerPoint presentation while in presentation mode.
Theoretically, I should be able to click on the embedded object and have it open in its proper application.
When I try to open a pdf file, AcroRd32 opens, briefly displays the document, and then closes immediately.
This happens in both versions Acrobat Reader 9 and X. The problem didn't exist when using Office 2003, but now exists in Office 2007.
I can open the document when in editing mode - just not in presentation mode.
I have built an Add-In for PowerPoint.
My VB code for opening the document is:
myshape = applicationObject.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddOLEObject( _
                FileName:=vrtSelectedItem, Link:=MsoTriState.msoFalse, _
                Left:=22.5, Top:=127, Width:=675.8, Height:=377)
With myshape.ActionSettings(Powerpoint.PpMouseActivation.ppMouseClick)
                .Action = Powerpoint.PpActionType.ppActionOLEVerb
                .ActionVerb = "Open"
End With
Does anybody know how to fix this problem, or have a work-around for it?
Thanks.

Change PR item short text when created from Work Order

Hello,
Is there a way to edit the PR item short text when the PR is generated from a Work Order. When we open the PR, the item short text is grayed out.
We have created Material Master Number for Contract/ BPA items. When we input that particular material number under the components tab on the WO then release it ,it creates a PR. The Material Master description gets transfered to the PR.
Our issue is that the Material Master is to generic and we would like to change the description on the PR level.
Is this possible?
Thanks,

Hi
I think neither there is any way to change the Material Description in PR nor its a good SAP Practise as it is having lot of implecations of stocking , physical inventory , reconciliation etc .
If Item codes are generic suggest if u can use the PR or PO long text to enable the buyer for the procurement & supplier for supply the material as per long text specifications .

Sameer

Washed out text when printing from Acrobat Help?

When I print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat all the text is washed out. It is supposed to be black but I get gray text.
I have the print settings at rich text black.
The print settings on Acrobat are 600dpi.
It is not a printer issue as I get the same problem with 2 different printer that are different makes and models.
It is a high resolution PDF with no image compression.
The file prints fine from Indesign.
I am running Acrobat Professional 8.2.3
I am running CS 3 master suite
any help is appreciated.
thanks

IF, (and that is a big if) the pdf is create some some type of text (word open office, pages, etc) then open PDF in acrobat and click on Touch up text tool
(a Samll button with a capital "T" on it -without quote marks).
Click on select all. then File menu look for Properties. click on properties
when window opens click on appearance tab.
choose color by clicking on colored block. choose black.
IF your document then your out of luck there are no fonts just a drawing of what appears to be fonts. You might use OCR on Document but then not all Characters might ocr so you would only be partially successful.

Attachments converted to plain-text when using redirect rule

When I redirect emails using a Mail rule, any attachments (as well as the entire message) are converted to plain text with extra control character, rendering the attachment unviewable. This does not happen when I manually redirect an email. Any help you can provide would be welcome.
