Best way to view .pdf and .doc files on an iPhone

thank you if you know and are willing to post - cheers

ok, email attachments definitely worked, was able to read .pdf files for sure.
Problem is those emails, a week later, are buried under 100 new ones. VERY INCONVENIENT.
This is how far the iPhone has come in 18 months ?
The Google phone is starting to look very interesting. . .

Attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails.

I am desperately trying to figure out how to attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails in the Mail app. I have downloaded GoodReader, but when I go into "Manage Files" and choose "Open in...", Mail is not one of the apps listed for me to choose from (only Quickoffice and iBooks are listed, that's it). My Gmail account is pushed to the Mail app, if that's relevant at all.
I'm hoping to be able to attach documents to Reply emails in the Mail app, but if I have to do it using my web-based email, that's better than nothing. I just really need to be able to attach them to Replies, and not compose a new email from scratch.
I'd REALLY appreciate any help with this!
Thanks.

I thought I might be able to figure out a clever work-around by using cut and paste from a new message but this did not work as expected. I have been using the MobileMe iDisk app to store pdf files and then just mailing out the links. I believe my cut and paste method would have worked with this, however I've got about a year now to figure out another way to do this if it is not included in Apple's new cloud service. This has actually been a better as I need to worry less about file size and don't need to have the files stored on the device.
You may want to look into what on-line file storage solutions are out there and if they have the ability to send links to files to colleagues, possibly with password protection.

.pdf and .doc files corrupted on 2 Macs?

On an iMac and a shared Mac Mini, a number of PDF and DOC files have all of a sudden gotten corrupt. Some of these have not been modifed in 2 years but all of a sudden are corrupt. I've tried Data Rescue and cannot find anything online about these multiple files getting corrupted. I've rebuilt permissions and done various ML Cache Cleaner options to no avail. Anyone heard of anything like this? It just happened all of a sudden on 2 computers. At first I figured the first computer had the partition going bad but that doesn't explain 2 computers at once.

Dear M.V,
with the same above configuration, now I am able to open pdf's which are having a size lessthan 2 MB.
below is the access log

Best way to view PDF page(s) with in a custom program

What is the best approach for viewing PDF page(s) in a custom program? I know you can hook in Adobe PDF Viewer, but I need access to mouse clicks and location on the page. As well, I need to control the scale and zooming of the PDF page(s).
I'm not looking to change the PDF file, but rather draw over top of the page(s).
Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction,
Shayne

Actually, Ive already implemented an interface after throughly reading all the Acrobat documentation on Javascript within the PDFs. Its functional but not spectacular. It simply uses the setField function to get and set the values to the Field objects. It do this by posting messages to and from the web page that is hosting the PDF object.
I was wondering if there is a better way. It needs to stay a thin-client interface - nothing besides PDF Reader loaded on the workstations. I am currently investigating the several other methods but was hoping for some guidance.

Opening attached .pdf and .doc files

I am having a mental moment and can't figure out how to
(attach to button) import .pdf or .doc files so that they open when
the project is published. The buttons are linked to files on my
computer...when I publish, Captivate knows the files are there and
tells me:
"The files/projects listed below are linked to the open
project. The linked files/projects may require exporting.
It is also important to copy all referenced files and
projects with their corresponding HTML files to the output folder."
1. How do I export the linked files?
2. What output folder is it refering to?
Thanks in advance...I'm obviously new to captivate.
js

Hi again js
Certainly linking to the documents from MenuBuilder is one
approach.
Are you saying the links from Captivate are failing you? You
may wish to try a technique I outlined in
this
thread.
Cheers... Rick

Is it possible to batch print .pdf AND .doc files together?

I need to let users to batch print a set of files that includes both .PDFs and .DOCs. Since <cfprint> allows .PDF files only, what would you suggest?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's not an option because I need to allow users to batch print and I have no info about their network printer configuration
That raises a large RED Flag that you may be misunderstanding the <cfprint...> functionality. <cfprint...> can NOT print to a printer that is configured to the clients computer. So if that is what you are looking to do, you need to be looking at Client side technology. But be aware, that current, common, browser based web applications generally have very limited connections to client hardware. If you are willing to get into Flex, Flash, Air (or another company's technologies) you could probably do more. But HTML and JavaScript currently do not have much access to the hardware of a client computer.
The <cfprint...> tag is designed to send a print job from the SERVER running the ColdFusion application to a printer connected to that server. IF you are writing programs with no knowledge of the server network configurations (I.E. an application meant to be sold to various customers) this becomes much more difficult to do. But if you are writing a CFML application to be run on a known network, which is what many of us do, then it should be pretty easy to know what printers are connected to the server running ColdFusion and figure out what capabilities those printers have.

View PDF and Word file

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,
I am using crystal report XI with ACCESS 2003, I would like to create a field in my ACCESS table to insert the path of the PDF or word files I would like to view when I click on the report. Is there a way to do this? Whic is the best approach to view a PDF or Word document from the crytal report viewer?

Just so I get the first part correct - this is what I understand you to want to do:Add column to Access db, say something like 'FILE_LINK'Have a field on your report that displays the value of the FILE_LINK data for either PDF or DOC's. To do this:Populate the Access db as you'd like, including the file extension.Add the database field to the report.Right-click the field and 'Format Field'.Select the 'A File' radio button.Select the Hyperlink tab.Select the 'X-2' button in the 'Hyperlink Information' area of that same tabbed window.Enter a formula for what you want to be shown. To show 'somefilename.pdf' on a shared drive, for example, enter this formula:"
x\" & {database.column}Click the 'X-2' icon with the green checkmark, near the top-left of the window. Fix any errors reported.Click 'Save & Close' and then 'Ok' on the 'Format Editor' window.Drop/drag the field where you'd like it and you should be good to go.

Best way to remove applications and unneeded files

I have an Imac running slow. Duo Core processor. 4 mgs Ram. Disabled Java in Safari. Getting all my photos off the computer. Safari runs slow. Beachball forever. Have removed past Mac Keeper. Want to know the best way (Until I can add more RAM, if I can, to speed up my mac. I have had to purchase Adobe Cloud to replace Photoshop etc and want to remove all files on my computer not needed for Adobe and any other files slowing down my computer. Also, need Safari to be working. I wait for ever for pages to load and to access Gmail. Want to defragment my hard drive as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Empty the trash in the Dock as well as iPhoto’s trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.). Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular FREE storage sites.
Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website. Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight! Better yet, download this FREE software called Find File. This app puts Spotlight to shame (works w/Mountain Lion).
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
Dropbox is a free storage utility to check out.
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Converting .pdf and .doc files into .txt file

Can anyone here please tell me (a humble programmer) if there's anything in Java to help me accomplish the above, i.e. to strip the markup of these files.
Or perhaps someone might know if there are programs already out there that can?
Any pointers or advice would be great, thanks

PDF: iText (www.lowagie.org or .com) and FOP (at apache.org, or maybe jakarta.apache.org) are the de facto standards for writing PDF in Java, but I don't think either of them will help you with reading it. You might check out etymon. I think that reads PDF. Or you could google for java pdf reader
Doc: Check out POI, again at either jakarta or apache.

Best way to handle .properties and .xml files

Hi,
I have an application which contains so many properties and XML files, these are a part of WAR file which we deployed in
tomcat server. Whenever we make changes to these properties and XML files we redeploy the app and start the server.
Is there any way we can make sure that these files can take changes without redeploying or starting the server?
Please clarify.
Thanks.

Sure - keep them outside of the war. Pick any directory where you can put them (a directory where the server is allowed to read of of course), load them from that directory in your application. Make sure you can reach that directory through (S)FTP to easily be able to modify them. Then all you need is a way to reload them in the application, should the information be cached.

Best way to burn m2v and ac3 files to DVD

I recently compressed an exported final cut movie into DVD files - an ac3 audio file and an m2v video file.
I used Toast to burn them to a DVD but it did not finish correctly. I can hear the audio, but there is no video on the disc...just some graphic.
What is the best app to use to burn these files to a DVD? DVD Studio Pro? I don't need a menu, all I need is for the disc to play when it's inserted. I find that DVDSP is somewhat complex for burning a simple DVD.
I am going to try doing everything in Toast this time, but I've read that Toast is slow when it comes to encoding. Compressor was able to encode my 1hr 40min video in under 30 minutes....

My guess is that you added the .ac3 file directly to Toast and ended up with a Toast music DVD. The setting to use in Toast is DVD video in the Video window. Add only the .m2v file. Toast automatically adds the matching .ac3 file if it has the same name except for the extension and is in the same folder. If Toast can't find the audio it asks you to locate it.
You can choose Save as Disc Image and then mount the disc image for preview in DVD Player. If all is good burn the disc image to DVD using the Image File setting in the Copy window.

What will best help me view MPEG and other files with OS X ?

I've downloaded various files for OS X from Limewire but cannot view them as Quicktime needs extra files.
I cannot view MPEG files nor others and want to know if there's a simple, free programme compatible with OS X that I can download to view these files.
