External file attachment to a cell

Hi all,
Is there any way to attach a file to a cell so it's displayed as an icon that you can click and open the file? The file itself must be stored inside the main spreadsheet file.
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Nik

Thank you so much for all your help!
Wayne, Jerry is right. You can actually store hyperlinks to webpages and 'emails'. The link specified in the cell will open up your default browser as long as it's an URL starting with 'http://'. So no luck creating links to local files via 'file:///'.
I hope it will be fixed soon. The best solution would be to allow to 'attach' files that are displayed as icons and keep those files inside the .numbers itself (like in a container). Or have a choice to link to a file stored somewhere else as an option.
Thank you!
Regards,
Nik

Opening an external file containing javascript code

I'm trying to develop a PDF in two languages. When pushing a button, all questions and list-of-values for possible answers should be translated.
I created and initialized several variables with the two language phrases with javascript. Everything is inside my code.
Is there anyway that when a button is pressed an external file is read, bringing that javascript code for questions ans list-of-values? My concern is that currently I have a duplicated code, but if I want to implement three, four languages it will grow without control.
This is an example I wrote in my code:
var TxtAuxL1ESP = new Array();
var TxtAuxL1ING = new Array();
TxtAuxL1ESP[0]=", como ";
TxtAuxL1ING[0]=", such as ";
TxtAuxL1ESP[1]=": el último año ha obtenido ";
TxtAuxL1ING[1]=": last year it obtained ";
TxtAuxL1ESP[2]="%, en los últimos tres años ";
TxtAuxL1ING[2]="%, in the last three years ";
TxtAuxL1ESP[3]="% y en los últimos cinco años ";
TxtAuxL1ING[3]="% and in the last five years ";
if (P1.BtnIdioma.border.edge.stroke == "raised") {
    var TxtAuxL1=TxtAuxL1ESP;
    var TxtAuxL2=TxtAuxL2ESP;
    var TxtAuxL3=TxtAuxL3ESP;
else {
    var TxtAuxL1=TxtAuxL1ING;
    var TxtAuxL2=TxtAuxL2ING;
    var TxtAuxL3=TxtAuxL3ING;
What I was thinking is to store TxtAuxL1ING in one file, TxtAuxL1ESP in another file and read them from my javascript code inside the PDF. Is it possible?

Can I improve PDF OCR accuracy and compression ratio by running it through Acrobat X Std or Pro?

I scanned a book and stored the PDF file with minimal OCR and low compression using mp ex navigator v1. Can I use Acrobat X Standard or Acrobat X Pro to take that PDF file and improve both the OCR accuracy percentage AND the compression ratio, and then it in a new PDF file?
I am running Windows 8 64-bit. It may or may not matter, but I have Office 2010.

I purchased Acrobat Pro XI last month to try to digitize all my text books (Scanned as TIFF and imported to PDF). I've been pretty unimpressed in general. Specifically to your question, it seems that if a page has a photo on it or some complex image, Acrobat won't deskew it. My version updated just today to 11.0.06 and it still has this problem. I think it does deskew when "Apply Adaptive Compression" is selected because that option causes each page to be broken into parts (text/image).
Just incase you haven't tried, on the Optimize Scanned PDF dialoge box, make sure the slider is set to "High Quality" instead of "Small Size", that may help with the image quality. In my tests, I ended up leaving it turned up all the way.
I have finally put together a workflow to deal with the problem. I use Acrobat to extract each page as a TIFF to a separate directory. I use a third party program to deskew and crop the images. I use Acrobat to reassemble them into a PDF. I use Text Recognition/In this File (Searchable Image Exact) to do OCR.
I am pleased with the results though Acrobat tries to OCR a lot of images and I just get a bunch of jumbled invisible text on my images. I don't mind it though cuz it's invisible, but pretty pathetic given the cost of this product.
I'll mention the third party program I use in a post below because I don't know if I'm allowed to post it or not. I just don't want this post to be deleted for mentioning another program.
Hope this helps others.

Dynamic file attachment in distribution.xml

Hi
I'm trying to attach a PDF file to a report using a distribution.xml file. If I hard code
the filename it works fine but I need to attach a different file to every report so want
to use a variable. Unfortunately this gives the error:
Terminated with error: <br>REP-34304: Cannot locate the external file '&p_attachment' specified in destination 'm1'
REP-34304: Distribution failed to complete; review the distribution lists My distribution.xml file is as follows:
<destinations>
<foreach>
<mail id="m1" to="&p_email_to" from="&email_from" subject="&email_subject">
<body format="html" srcType="report" instance="this">
<include src="mainSection"/>
</body>
<attach name="ReturnNotice.pdf" srcType="file">
<include src="&p_attachment"/>
</attach>
</mail>
</foreach>
</destinations>Any ideas?
Thanks
Martyn

To answer my own question, changing
<attach name="ReturnNotice.pdf" srcType="file">to
<attach name="ReturnNotice.pdf" srcType="file" instance="this">fixes the problem...

When I send an email with a photoshop file attached, the recipient receives it "flattened". How do I change this?

when I send an email with a photoshop file attached, the recipient receives it "flattened". How do I change this?

I've sent psd files to various people without issues, however you might want to try something like www.filedropper.com to make sure it's not that they can't open your version of psd file.
You may also want to zip the file using the built in archiving software, simply right click (or control click) the file and choose Compress ...., then you can email it to the person as a compressed archive. That should preserve all the aspects of the file properly without any modifications.

How to include external files when building installer for a standalone executable?

Hi,
I was trying to build a stand alone executable from my Labview project and I was able to do it successfully. Now I would like to include a few external .txt files in the installer. Those .txt files have parameters/constants that will be used by the program, and my program needs to load/read them when running. For now I have to manually copy/paste them into the target machine, but I really hope the installer can do it automatically. I see there is a "data" folder in the installer, and that's where I hope those .txt files can be added into.
How can I do it? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Norbert,
I could not find "Add file" when right clicking the project. See attached image please. Under "Project" I do have a "Add to project" but there is no option for external files. I did not find "Source" location either.
What did i do wrong? Is there any version requirement here? I have a 2010 base version. Thanks for your help.

Strange problem displaying external files (css includes)

Hope somebody can help me with this. First of all, I'm running mac os x 10.4.11 using dreamweaver 8.0.2.
Just recently i've been unable to display any external files (namingly my css; attached as includes) when I open a local document. Tried to delete my "site cache" as well as re-creating the site prefs and made sure "Display External Files" is checked under COMMANDS. Still nothing. Anyone have a idea it just all of a sudden stopped displaying all external fles???

Peter,
I tried testing the RSS feed using a FeedReader, and it works with that. But, when I try feed the same URL ( http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss ) as the XML source in the Omniportlet, I get the following error message:
Error
Failed to open specified URL. Check the following: is the URL is active; is there a valid proxy setting or, if HTTP authentication is required, check user name and password. [http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss]
Here is how the proxy is defined in the Provider.xml file:
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation">
<httpProxyHost>www-proxy.us.oracle.com</httpProxyHost>
<httpProxyPort>80</httpProxyPort>
<proxyUser>my Oracle Single-SignOn username</proxyUser>
<proxyPassword>my Oracle Single-signOn pwd</proxyPassword>
</proxyInfo>
I am on the Oracle Intranet. So, please let me know how I could reach you offline, if you think that will make things easier to resolve this problem.
I appreciate your help.

Writing to external files

Is there any documentation in addition to the standard SDK documet?
I have to challenges:
1. What LUA code do i use inside a typical "grid" to write seomthing to an external file ?
2. How can I change settings for the stahdard image files. For example, I like to output the large files with a different JPEG compression than the thumbnails.

Probably a newbie question...
I tried the exampe from jarnoh above, but I get the error "Attempt to index local 'file' (a nil value).
This is my code:
local LrTasks = import 'LrTasks'

How to open an external file in Labview?

Hi, Who knows how to open an external file in LabView? I want to open an .UDL file(data link API) which is a dialog window letting me input correlated database information, but I dont know how to open this type of file in my LabView Program.
Thanks.
Red

A UDL is technically a text file, so you could open it with "Read Characters from file", put the result string into a string control, edit it and save it back using the "Write Characters to File".
UDLs however have their own configuration dialog embedded in the Windows OS. You can use this dialog in your LabVIEW application. The attached VI shows how to create a new UDL. You can edit an existing UDL by switching the method node to PromptEdit and wiring in an open ADO connection reference.

SCSM SDK Relating an Incident to a File Attachment

It seems that I have too many Exchange Connectors so I am looking to find other avenues to meet the needs of my users. I was planning on trying to pitch using Self-Service Portal for internal requests and creating an website for external client requests.
While I was able to create and Incident and a File Attachment via the SDK and C#, the process failed when I tried to create the relationship between them. I've tried to find an answer on the internet but I am coming up short. I followed the examples
correctly but the code fails with a DiscoveryDataLifetimeDependencyException
public static void Test_AttachFileToWorkItem()
EnterpriseManagementGroup mg = new EnterpriseManagementGroup("scsmserver");
EnterpriseManagementObject createdIncident = mg.EntityObjects.GetObject<EnterpriseManagementObject>(new Guid("9AF45443-150E-2AE4-B4F5-CC76930ED3F8"), ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
EnterpriseManagementObject fileAttachment = mg.EntityObjects.GetObject<EnterpriseManagementObject>(new Guid("4FFEBC8B-C1CF-27D5-E01C-CD8E22A06873"), ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
ManagementPackRelationship relAttachment = mg.EntityTypes.GetRelationshipClass(new Guid("aa8c26dc-3a12-5f88-d9c7-753e5a8a55b4"));
CreatableEnterpriseManagementRelationshipObject attachmentRelationship = new CreatableEnterpriseManagementRelationshipObject(mg, relAttachment);
attachmentRelationship.SetSource(createdIncident);
attachmentRelationship.SetTarget(fileAttachment);
attachmentRelationship.Commit(); //Error here

i may be reading this wrong, but it looks like you are trying to create a relationship for a file attachment object that already exists. this will never work.
the relationship for file attachments is like the relationship for WorkItemContainsActivity. the lifetime of the child object is linked to the lifetime of the relationship. if the relationship is deleted, the child object is similarly deleted. the corollary
of this is that if you create an object in the database without this relationship, it can never be added to a relationship.
instead of using mg.EntityObjects.GetObject() to get an existing object, Create the object using CreatableEnterpriseManagementObject inline, populate it with data, but do not commit it. create your relationship using the same code you specify here,
using the variable holding your uncommitted file attachment object in the relationship, then commit only the relationship object.
for reference, here is similar powershell i used to do this:
$FileParams = @{
Extension = ".xml"
Description=$FileName
Content = $SourceFile
Size = $SourceFileSize
AddedDate = (get-date).ToUniversalTime()
DisplayName = $FileName
ID=([System.Guid]::NewGuid()).ToString()
#create the attachement, then create the relation, then submit them both in one go.
$FileToAttach = New-SCSMObject -Class $fileClass -PropertyHashtable $FileParams -nocommit
$NewfileRelation = New-SCSMRelationshipObject -Relationship $AttachedFile -Source $Cr -Target $FileToAttach -nocommit
$NewFileRelation.commit()

Launch External Files from SSRS

I have a report that will list the names of files that are attached to this report in the database. I would like to include the list of files from the database and allow the users to click or double click the file name and have the file load.
Is there a way for SSRS to do this? The files can be in multiple formats, and in the project that adds the files we can use:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filepath)
And it will launch the correct process to view the files. I have stored the the file itself in an image column, and I also have the full path and the file name in columns as well so I could create a dataset to retrieve the file names and show them
on the report.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi katghoti,
If I understand correctly, you want to embed external files (word, pdf, image etc.) into a report in Reporting Services. If in this scenario, I suggest that you can use the following two methods to achieve your requirement:
Embed these files into database.
    1) Use the SQL commands to embed these files in database as the image data.
    2) Use the .net language (C#, VB) to convert this data into the image.
    3) Use the image control to show these images, which are files embedded in database.
Reference:
How to embed a pdf document in Reporting Services
Upload these files in the report server, access them using URL.
    1) We can upload these files in the report manager.
    2) Adding hyperlinks to reports to link to these files stored on the report server.

Hope this helps.

The aspect ratio of this file is not support by DVD. Possible slideshow error?

hello everyone,
I will try to give as much information as possible. Dont scream at me if i forget anything. For starters, I just learned how to use Adobe Encore CS4. I taught my self between reading the help files and videos I found on the web. I am an amateur when it comes to DVD authoring (could have alot to do with my problem). Im an animator and I am making a DVD to show my demo reel, drawings, and i have a storyboard to final comparison video. I designed all of my menus in photoshop. I have one transition that was animated in after effects that was imported using dynamic link. My demo reel is a mov file at 640x360 widescreen, half the size of HD 720p. The comparison video is a premiere file from dynamic link (same size as the demo reel). There is some background music for the menus. Then I have 3 slideshows, and i believe this is where the error is coming from. Most of the artwork has the same dimensions but there are some that are larger or smaller. Some are jpg, but most are PSD files. The slide show is set to manual advance with music in the background. I have no transition effects on the slideshow. When building the DVD, i believe when it says "starting project" after all the importing was done,i get the error
The aspect ratio of this file is not support by DVD. PGC info: name= Figure Drawing (name of the slideshow and a menu button) ref=Fpgc, time=234.2340s
I just tried to build the DVD without the slideshow and I still get the error. Possibly a menu issue? I have no idea. Ive ran into errors before but I was able to get through the others. I just cant seem to find a solution to this error. Even after searching the forums for similar problems. Hopefully, the solution is simple. If more info is needed let me know. I really need this DVD to send out for jobs!! Thanks everyone.
Brandon

When doing SlideShows, whether in Encore (somewhat limited), or in PrPro, it is always better to re-size outside of these programs, prior to Import. I use Photoshop (PS) to do this, and use an Action to get everything in the proper Mode, Color Space, Size - everything. I always do a Save_As and use .PSD files. I also Save a working version, incase I have Flattened, etc., for Import into the NLE/authoring app.
JPEG's *should* work fine too, though there is the JPEG compression to deal with. Might not be an issue, but for max quality, I start with RAW images, process to .PSD's, and then work from copies of these, to get my still Assets ready for PrPro, or En.
I either size exactly to my Project Preset, or to exactly what I need, if say I will pan across a zoomed out image. In a major Project, I may have sub-folders with 4 different sizes of image - based precisely on what I will need to do with that/those image(s). If I will not need to do any animation on any images, then I use that Project Preset (including the correct PAR) and they work perfectly. This also eliminates any unnecessary overhead on the system.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:

Opening external files in Director Projector... *URGENT*

Hi, this should be really basic, but I just can't work it
out...
I want to open external files (but kept in the same root
directory as my projector file) from a mouse/button click in my
projector.
I don't know any Lingo, but I am assuming it should be pretty
straight forward... I need to launch a .pdf, a .html file (I can do
this with the goto URL behaviour actually), and a .exe.
Is there not a preset behaviour for this somewhere?
Your help is much appreciated.

> Are we sure that I am doing this right?
What about the following - copy it into your cast as a
behavior and
attach it to all your buttons, one at a time, choosing the
file you want
to open when you click each button. You might need to remove
previous
code attempts from your buttons. Be sure to include FileXtra4
with your
projector - (Menu:) Modify -> Movie -> Xtras..., click
Add, locate the
xtra and add it to the list displayed; or simply place it in
a folder
named 'Xtras' alongside your projector
property myFile
on getPropertyDescriptionList
fx4 = xtra("FileXtra4").new()
tRange = fx4.fx_FolderToList( _movie.path )
fx4 = VOID
return [#myFile: [#comment: "File to open:", #format:
#string,
#default: tRange[1], #range: tRange]]
end
on mouseUp me
tDelimiter = the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter = "."
tType = the last item of myFile
the itemDelimiter = tDelimiter
fx4 = xtra("FileXtra4").new()
if tType = "exe" then
OK = fx4.fx_FileRunApp( _movie.path & myFile )
else
OK = fx4.fx_FileOpenDocument( _movie.path & myFile )
end if
if ( OK <> 1 ) then
alert "Error opening file:" && myFile
&RETURN& fx4.fx_ErrorString()
end if
fx4 = VOID
end
