Cant open PC Paint files with Appleworks paint program

I have been using the very simple Paint program that comes with windows. I have finally made the move and ditched the PC for something more stable.
When I try to import my .bmp pictures I used to work on into Appleworks it insists on opeing the Drawing program that has no "fill" etc. Even when I open the Paint program and then "force" it to open a .bmp only part of the picture is shown. I thought that a .bmp is pretty basic and common file type.
Does anyone know if Appleworks can handle .bmp files and if not what are other options. I didn't really feel the need to have a $170 paint program for what I am doing.
Hope you can help.
Michael

Dale,
Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I need to use the "fill" in the paint program.
I have actually just been able to get the file to load into Appleworks paint after reading about using the .pict save. All looked good untill I tried to fill. What happens now is that the fill is very chunky and does not bleed thru at all. This makes it pretty useless at the moment.
Same problem, with a twist now.
Looking forward to any further ideas.
Michael

Cant open embedded msg-files with Standard

Hi,
my problem is:
I have embedded some msg-files into an pdf now I cant open the links to the msg-files with X Standard but
I can open them with X Pro.
The Problem is I need to get them opened with X Standard.
When I try to open them with Standard he tells me something about the security-settings wont allow this.
I already checked the security-settings and I have the option with " open in extern" activated and
I dont got a blacklist.
Is there a possibility to open the msg-files with Standard ?
I would be very happy if you could write me a solution.
Sincerly,
David Scharlau

Cant open a PDF file in click box

I cant open a PDF file in captivate (using a click box) it
goes out to the net and does a search - any answers?
Also I tried to use a menu builder but I cant add that to a
captivate learning object either - any answers?
Thanks in advance everyone, i really appreciate it I am still
learning this program.
Cheers

hi DilbertG
Thanks for the quick reply
I have the PDF file local and select it from the browse
button.
The path is absolute.
The address that IE shows is a MSN search for the PDF file
name - eg the file name is Students with learning difficulties.pdf
it goes to a MSN search and looks for Students with learning
difficulties.pdf web pages.
I test this in preview and does the above mentioned.
Do I need to save the PDF in a different location so
captivate can access it?
Thanks for the help,
Cheers

I cannot open a pdf file with aole-mail. I can open pdf files from windows explorer. I have associated pdf with adobe reader. My operating system is window

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

How to open a DWG file with AutoCAD options (AppleScript)?

Hi,
I'm looking for help specifying the AutoCAD options when opening DWG files. I have DWG files of floor plans that I always want to open at the same scale.
I can successfully open a DWG file with the default options using:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias without dialogs
But I don't want the default options, so if I try to specify them:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias with options {class:AutoCAD options, scale unit:"autocad inches"} without dialogs
I get a "Can't find alias" error. How do I specify the AutoCAD options? I'm sure this is due to my lack of understanding of AppleScript. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

I'll answer my own question. Here's how I specified the options:
open POSIX file filePath as alias with options {pGSO:original size, pASU:inches, pASR:12.0 / 0.1875} without dialogs
I had to look in the Apple Script dictionary to get the "codes" to use. The variable names didn't work. I think that's because some have "global" in the name which is a keyword in Apple Script. Here's what the codes translate to:
pGSO = "global scale options"
pASU = "scale unit"
pASR = "scale ratio"
Thanks,
Chris

I can't open a PDF file with password with my iphone app

How do I make safari open a pdf file with acrobat x instead of reader

I would like a pdf file from a link in Safari to open the linked file with adobe acrobat x rather than either adobe reader of the safari version. Where can I set the preference to get this done?

Aha! The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat. This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list.
Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37: nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37. This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder.
Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218: nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50.
As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat. Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current. Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying upgrades or newer versions.

An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
Did somebody get the same problem?

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
Be well...

Did you specify <all-permissions/> in your JNLP file? Did you sign your code? What error are you getting?

No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.
