Can users without Publisher 2010 view (read only) Publisher pieces in a SharePoint 2010 library?

I'm (very) new to SharePoint 2010 and fumbling my way through it with a certain amount of success. We have a variety of Publisher 2010 items I wanted to be made available in a library. Not all of the users in the group have Publisher, so I converted them
all to PDF...which doesn't seem to work with SharePoint 2010. So my question is...if a member of the group does not have Publisher 2010, will he or she be able to view these same items if I post them as read only in Publisher? OR, even better, is there
a workaround for PDFs? Thanks so much! --SMGKatz

EDITING original response to Mike Smith below.
Updated here:
At Mike's suggestion, I tried the XPS/XML route and we have a WINNER!!! Multiple problems solved.
Thanks, Mike!
This is helpful and leads me to a second question... we all have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard or at least Acrobat Reader, but the PDFs were giving us trouble. When you mention "a PDF viewer" were you referring to Acrobat Reader or is there some
sort of plug-in that plays with SharePoint?
The only way to convert them to Word would be to save the Publisher pieces as images and drop them into Word, which I can do. I had hoped to post items in the library that users could download to use and the PDF is much more versatile than a Word document
for this purpose. I haven't yet tested the quality/resolution of the PDF vs Word w/ an image dropped in, so I don't know if this would be an issue, as well.
We've always gone the PDF route. Maybe I'll explore XPS options and see how that works out for me. I have to be honest, I never knew what XPS was until you mentioned it and I looked it up. So thank you for that, as well! That may end up being my solution!

Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW?

Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW? I use this for a vacation rental and people never ever ever ever need to see anything but the MONTH VIEW. I hate having to tell them to click MONTH view at the top of the page. Is there a way to force it to always appear in MONTH? Thanks!

ddotcom,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately no, but if they are repeat viewers why not tell them to change their view to "Monthly" using the "Preferences" button on that page?

User-entered field treated as read-only

I created a large form in version 7. I brought it into version 8 to work on it some more. I believe this may be related to going from 7 to 8...
I have lots of numeric fields in rows and columns. All the fields are User Entered - Optional. When I view it in Preview, one field in the middle will not allow entry. It's as if the field were Read Only. I go back to Design mode and the field is still listed as User Entered. This occurs on a few pages.
Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

My office uses Times New Roman as a standard font for all our forms, I dragged several of the most used standard objects into a blank form, altered them to fit our standards and then dragged them back into the standard tab. Much easier than going through the process each and every time you need to pull a field in, fyi. You can also put a script into a field and put it into either the custom tab or create your own tab for personal objects, I find this saves me huge time by not having to re-type scripts over and over.

adil

Hello adil,
If user is having "Add Items" rights then item ID should be created automatically and this is auto generate column in list.
Why you are using "update list item action"? Are you updating any other field?
If updating any other column value then add Impersonation steps in your code to update item.

How can I open something as not Read-Only?

Everytime I've opened an Excel (Microsoft for Mac 2011) file today it opens as read-only, and the only way I can save changes is by changing the name of the file, which I don't want to do. I did not have this problem last week when working with the same file. I hit command-I -- I'm listed as read & write and then it said Staff (it's just me -- read-only) -- I just switched it to read & write& did the same for Everyone. Yet it still opened (from the Finder) as Read-Only. Please help me!!
Thanks,
joanne

Try this:
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

Make an editable View read only?

Hi!
Is it possible to make an editable view readonly? I need it for closing a month. If data of a closed month is displayed the the view should be readonly.
Thanks & regards
Kai

You can make an editable view RO by changing the attribute Updateable Propery appropriately in the EO if this is what you really want. Or you could just create a Read Only VO from scratch.

Why can't iTunes play music from read-only external hard drive?

I have a write-protected external hard-drive which I keep all of my iTunes media on. iTunes recognizes all of the files, including the metadata on the id3 tags, and can find the files in Windows Explorer. However, it cannot play the files while the drive remains write-protected. Is there a work around for this as I would prefer to keep the hard-drive protected? Why does iTunes require write-access to play songs? Other media players have no problem playing from my read-only external hard-drive. Thanks for any help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
When you say you can't play through both devices at the same time, what happens when you try, are you able to select multiple speakers, do they deselect themselves, do you not get the option or does it just not work when you select multiple speakers.

Can you save editable pdf as read only

I have a client who's using an editable pdf that I set up in the full version of Acrobat 8.0. They would like to edit the doc in Acrobat Reader and then do a save as and make the doc "read Only" so that their viewers can't edit the document after they have made their changes. Is this possible or am I the only one who can make it readable or not readable with the full version of Acrobat?

You can do it. They can't.
If this is something they are going to do a lot of, recommend that they purchase at least Acrobat Standard if not Pro.

How can I make a file not read only? Using LV6.0, I have tried the Access Rights VI w/o luck.

I am talking about any file in windows 98 that has the read only box checked when I look at the properties of the file from Windows Explorer. I can can get rid of the check from the properties box, but I want to do it programmaticaly in LabView.

Hi,
Wire in '448' to the 'New Permissions' of the Access Rights VI. This will set the file as readable, writable and executable. I just tried this (on WinNT, though).
The 'permissions' parameter is a 16-bit integer where the least 9 bits are used. Of these, for Windows, bits 8, 9, and 10 (0-indexed) are important (i.e. if these are set = integer 448). See online Help for full details.
Hope this helps,
Khalid

Can't write to pacman.conf -- Read only file

Hello everybody,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to installing (arch) linux. I just installed (a part of) arch linux to my old computer, but I'm stuck now.
I used the Arch Linux beginners guide and now I'm at the part where I need to configure pacman.
But once I'm trying to adjust something in pacman.conf the computer tells me it's a read only file.
I also can't udate the system when I use pacman -Syu I get: error: failed to update core/extra/community (unable to lock database)
Btw I installed syslinux and I'm logged in as root.
I hope you can help me with this and that i'm not asking a really dumb question.
Thanks in advance!

I can only take pictures, because my arch linux is on an other computer.
here is my fstab (btw it's read only as well)
And here is my mount output
That's not even the full /etc/fstab. It's horrible.
Add a tmpfs like in the fstab wiki entry. It's probably because you used one ">" when using genfstab (my bad, sorry).
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab
PS: Which bootloader do you use? Syslinux? Don't remove "ro" then. Keep it, just like in the examples.

How can I change the width of a column in a list of sharepoint 2010 ?

How do I change the column width in sharepoint 2010 so the data displays properly in standard view?
I open the list View in sharepoint designer,and change the width of the <td> ,but ,when I preview ,the column width don't change. what should I do?

While they may auto adjust to what it thinks is a correct width, far too often it allocates way too much room and that causes lists with 4 columns to be much longer than they need to be and without the ability to adjust them, lists look strange.
http://twitpic.com/23ro09/full is an example of the first column having been allocated too much room.
