Best way to import the word or PDF file

Hi All,
I am going to start a new project in Robohelp (7.0).
Presently i am working on the evaluation version, but will get the
original copy soon.
All the existing documents are Pagemaker files and i need to
copy them into Robohelp project. I have not been supplied with the
stylesheet, so i will be going with the default htmlhelp css till i
get the new one.
Three ways i can think of copying the content is:
1) Direct copy and paste from Pagemaker file to Robohelp (to
relevent topics)
2) Copy all the content in word file and format it and then
import the word file in Robohelp
3) Pagemaker generates PDF files with the existing content,
so importing PDF files in Robohelp
Please tell me the easiest and the best way to do it, so that
it leads to less problems.
Thanks

Hi Krim,
Our dump files normally are never that big so that maybe you could face some other issue here.
If your dump was a full DB schema dump like:
$ exp username/password file=full.dmp parameter-list
then the import should first drop the user in the target system
SQL> drop user username cascade;
this is to drop the existing schema before importing
SQL> Create user according to your reqs
$ imp username/password file=full.dmp full=y commit=y ignore=y
Don't know which env you have to run this, but in our case for instance using an 8 X 1.6GHz Itanium2 Montecito a 14 GB dump takes about a couple of hours to import (with an EMC Clariion disk array). It's also true that Oracle imp (did you use exp or expdp ?) is not able as far as I understand to achieve parallelism like impdp where in case of multiple huge tables the import time could be sped up.
Another thing you may want to check is if you have archive logging on, since the import will log there consuming time.
Cheers,
Mike

  • Best way to import Microsoft Word text?

    Newbie question. I've been importing Microsoft Word text just using the clipboard. That is, I'll open Microsoft Word, open my document, select all, copy, and then go to InDesign and paste. InDesign gives me a text block with my text and I just re-size the columns. The text comes in all weird and I have to stylize it, of course. Sometimes I get some junk like nonbreaking characters and other hidden characters which screw me up until I figure out what's going on. My question is: what's the best way to import Microsoft Word text that will introduce the fewest errors? Thanks.

  • What's the best way to import spoken word files?

    How do you import spoken word files, such as audio books etc?
    Of course, there's no need to use as much a high bit rate as one would for music... does anyone have some good advice about the way to import it?
    If I use AAC, is the 'Spoken Podcast' setting good for any type of word file? (In Preferences > Advanced > Importing.)
    Thank-you everyone.

    I would recommend the 'Spoken Podcast' setting. The same setting is used for audiobooks available at the iTMS.
    I imported spoken word at a higher bitrate and, but couldn't hear substantial differences with the 'Podcast' setting.

  • What is the best way to compute the MD5 of a file from within a filesystem filter driver

    Greetings!
    I am developing a filesystem filter driver that monitors file creations. My driver is based on the sample code "scanner" in the DDK. I need to calculate the MD5 of the file in the PostCreate stage. I am using
    FltReadFile() to read the file where I have to read block by block - which I think is kinda inefficient. Is there a way to get the size of the file before I read ? That way I can allocate enough memory in advance and then read it in one shot.
    I don't see a FltXxxx function to read the size of the file. How do I do it ?? (Or if there is a another way to calculate MD5 that would work too)
    I also ran into another problem. For block by block reading, I use FltAllocatePoolAlignedWithTag/Free functions. I noticed that if I don't use the
    same exact variable to Free the block I get bsod. For example I allocate a block using a variable pBlock and then add it to an array of pointers. Later on I Free the blocks with array[index] - then I get the BSOD. The bug check code is BAD_POOL_HEADER.
    Any idea what is going on ? This is okay to do right ?
    Thanks
    ~B

    FltQueryInformationFile will get you the size information.  On the BSOD it is likely you are passing the wrong pointer back, give us a !analyze -v of the crash dump, so we can start the process of debugging.  Run your driver with "Driver Verifier"
    and enable special pool, to catch things.

  • Hi, Please help. I accidentally deleted my entire Iphoto Library. I used Stellar Phoenix 4.1 and I do believe that I recovered all. I recovered to "My Passport" for Mac External HD. Files are all mixed up, best way to import back?

    Hi, a couple days ago, I was orgainizing my Iphoto libray. Then, I thought that I was emptying my trash on Iphoto. (the ones I deleted when orgainizing) after hitting are you sure button, I realized that it was 209 files with 18,000+ photos. So I frantically stopped iphoto from "saving critical information" thinking If I left it open I could copy all my files over to (I beleive somewhere in finder under pictures?) I thought, but it most have been under the applications folder. Well this is where I really messed up. So after saving every file to that section, and everything was normal again on iphoto, I decided to make space and delete them from where I put them. So instead of selecting each file indivually, I used the select ALL button. Only to find that it deleted EVERYTHING. Iphoto (the file) was apparently at the bottom of the page along with Nikon Transfer, Lightroom 2 and god knows what else. That is when I found a data recovery software program (Stellar Phoenix 4.1mac) 17 hours later it found 159GB. I read enough to know that I HAD to go and buy an external HD. (even though I already own Time Capsule, but I never hooked it up ) was confused about if I could actually use that for this matter so, I just went and bought My Passport an external HD for Mac. Plugged it in, and recovered what looks like all my files (hopefully) did also read enough that I knew NOT to use my computer after this occured.
    Now that you all know how I got into this mess, I would like to know the best way to import the files back? Ok I know this sounds easy, but all the files are scattered everywhere on the HD. Is there a way to put them back on my Mac Book Pro that would possibly put them in some kind of order? Date? Image file number? Anything? 18,000 photos to reorgainze is going to be brutal. I can reinstall Lightroom 2, if i can locate where I put the disk. And I also have CS5. Also wondering if the quality of the photo was affected?  I did get them back, so I am not complaining but any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Will be turning on Time Machine and hooking up Time Capsule as well. Should I also use my new HD along with capsule? Any advice on that matter would also be greatly appreciated as well!!!!!
    Thanks, Michelle

  • Best way to import from camcorder.

    Camera:
    Sony Handycam v. HDR-XR100
    Outputs:
    (don't know the exact terms) USB, mini hdmi, component
    Question:
    I am trying to import videos shot from this camera to the mac. I think firewire works best when it comes to importing, but this camera does not have the port. The USB cable works, but mostly only for programs to import pictures such as iPhoto. Ideally it would be nice to import directly into FCP, but if it is too inconvenient than I understand. What is the best way to import the video? Are there adapters to convert one of the cables into firewire? Just looking for the best option/solution. Thanks again for the help.

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details

  • What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad2

    What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad 2?

    You first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - the iPad doesn't have a file structure like a 'normal' computer, and every file/document needs to be associated with an app. If you don't have such an app then options include Apple's Pages app and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD. How you then get the documents on the iPad will depend upon the app that you have/get as different apps may use different methods e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

    I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
    What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
    David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
    How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
    I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
    So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
    It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout???  What kind????

    It's best to place any text.
    You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
    This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

  • What is the best way to import and edit a large amount of footage?

    Hello Apple world,
    As a newbie to Final Cut 10 I have a question regarding best ways to import footage. I'll give you a quick run down.
    I have a 150 gig of gopro footage that I just hit 'import' to recently (from my external HD), it took around 10 hours to process it all.
    Its all under one event, but then somewhat organised into dates etc. But it is very slow. I imported it all at once because it was all footage from the last 6 months of my Whistler/states/fiji trip and want to make a movie out of it, using clips from all over the time, not just in chronological order.
    I have the latest mac book pro, 4 gig ram,2.4 GHz i7, 750 hard drive, with nothing else on the computer.
    Ive read about creating proxy media, after ive imported, but am still somewhat confused as to the benefit. Does it create duplicates? that will fill up my pretty large HD as it is!
    Can you suggest any ways that might make my laptop run a bit faster? Should i delete and work directly from external HD etc etc?
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece.  Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing.  Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline.  I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
    My questions:
    1)  What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
    2)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
    3)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects?  I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction.  I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
    I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance.  I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage.  I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!
    1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
    2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
    3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

    Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

    driddy61,
    As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Adobe Reader for Android
    Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
    In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
    The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers).  Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
    Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example.  You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
    Tablets
    However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
    (a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
    Example: Surface Pro 3
    You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
    (b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
    Example: Surface 2
    You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
    In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets.  However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
    Processor: Intel
    Operating system:  Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
    Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department.  Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

  • What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

    I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
    Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
    Thanks in advance.

    I only see Share > Export.
    Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
    what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
    Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
    I do not want to import pictures one by one...
    You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
    ...and stick them together manually.
    Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
    But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
    You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
    I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
    I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
    Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.
