Conversion from Robohelp 9 to Wiki format

Greetings!
I've searched online and in the forums for an answer to this question, but almost everything is dated 4 to 5 years ago. Hopefully, it's time to start talking about this again.
I've just realized that when my client asked for a web-based Online Help system, what he really meant is Wiki-based Help system. I have TechComm Suite 3.5, which means I've got Frame 10 and RoboHelp 9.
I've found a couple of references to the MediaWiki and its tool to convert RoboHelp 8 topics to wiki format, but there's nothing about RoboHelp 9. Is it still compatible? Why does RoboHelp not have Wiki as a publishing format since some of the most popular applications have moved away from the online help format and into the knowledge-based, wiki format?
So my question is: is there a way to use Frame 10 or RoboHelp 9 to create a wiki-based Help system, or does the MediaWiki tool still work with RoboHelp 9 and does anyone have any experience with it?

Hi there
If a wiki is what you want, why are you using RoboHelp?
RoboHelp doesn't "do" wiki and anything it creates will most certainly have to be converted. Once converted, RoboHelp wouldn't be able to use it again and you would have to start over.
Cheers... Rick

SharePoint 2013 Document Conversion from PDF to Word (docx) format

Hello all,
I know that SharePoint has the facility to convert documents from Word to PDF using the Word Conversion Service, and I've worked with it in C# using the object model.
We have a client request for the opposite process. They have an email-enabled document library that receives PDF documents...they would like these converted to Word (.docx).
I'm believe that SharePoint 2013 Word Automation Service has no way to do this (although I could be wrong); and I'm not sure of the object model either. However, in Office Web Apps you can open a PDF file in the browser, and the form has a button labeled
"Edit in Word". When selected, it shows a message: "Word Web App will make a copy of your PDF and convert it to a Word document for you to edit."
Is there a way to access the SharePoint Office Web Apps object model/API in code, to do the same thing that the "Edit in Word" button does? It would be great to be able to hook into those methods, if possible.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
According to your post, you want to convert the pdf file to word format.
For converting the pdf file to word format, a workaround is that you can read the content of PDF file out and then construct a Word document using C#.
Here are some detailed articles about how to read content from pdf file using C#

Date conversion from Excel to the SAP format

Hi,
I have created a BDC program which uploads daat from Excel sheet.
There is a date field also, the format of which can be any as per the end user (it will be one of those allowed by SAP).
However, the file will be used for execution by another user who may have a date setting which is different than that from the one in Excel.
Eg. End User's date format: DD.MM.YYYY, SAP User's date format: MM/DD/YYYY
So, how do I convert the date format from excel to the format which will be accepted by the transaction during the recording?
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I have faced the same issue while uploading the date to the bdc.
if ur date format is DD.MM.YYYY in the excel file, first of all you need to change this to dats format ie YYYYMMDD ie character8 format and pass to the bdc, it will automatically convert to sap format
ie you need to convert splitting at .
data lv_date type char10,
        lv_dd type char02,
        lv_mm type char02,
       lv_yyyy type char04,
v_date type char08.
lv_date = '30.12.2011'.
split lv_date at '.' into lv_dd lv_mm lv_yyyy.
if strlen(lv_dd) lt 2.
   concatenate '0' lv_dd into lv_dd.
endif.
if strlen(lv_mm) lt 2.
   concatenate '0' lv_mm into lv_mm.
endif.
concatenate lv_yyyy lv_mm lv_dd into v_date.
"Please use the variable V_DATE to populate to ur bdc"

Type conversion from numeric value to time format

hi guys,
i hvae column called (Time in seconds).i need to convert the numeric value of one column into time format HH:MM:SS. for example 3012 =00:50:12.
how can i proceed the same in the front end.
Thanks & Regards,
Nandu

Hi..
here is the code.. (assuming 10000 in the following code is your seconds, replace that with your value...)
cast(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' || cast(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' ||cast(60*((60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))))-(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0))) as varchar(2)) You can also use floor instead of truncate...
Above will give only h:m:s format if hh (or) mm (or) ss are between 0 and 9. So, you may need to add case when condition before each concatenation: if hh is between 0 and 9 then need to concatenate with 0 else the same code...
Thanks...

Poor raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format in Lightroom 3 and 4

I'm seeing very poor results when doing raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format. Who can I contact about this? Is there anything I can do?
See below for what is supposed to be a white curtain, lit by stage lighting. It results in a blown out blue channel, serious loss of detail, and very ugly gradient.
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)
And for more detail:
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on TOP --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on BOTTOM)
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)

The blue light is so intense that it is, or almost is, saturating the sensor.
The camera’s built-in raw conversion handles this by shifting the color to cyan—clipping the blue and allowing the green to contribute more. I doubt there was cyan lighting in the scene, only blue.
Adobe does not shift the hue, but this makes the blue seem over saturated. Adobe’s conversion may be more colorimetrically correct, but less pleasing in this case of intense lighting that the sensor cannot accurately record.
It is a difference in camera profile used between the camera and Adobe. Since Adobe does not supply camera-match profiles for much more than Nikon and Canon cameras, you’re not going to be able to fix things other than managing the over-saturation using HSL or WB or other things like lower-vibrance, higher saturation.
You could try making your own camera profile using an X-Rite Color-Checker Passport or the color-checker and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor:

Hi ,
I have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report.
Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.

Error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ? Can anyone help me with the solution.
Thanks,

Hi Jmcmullen,
Found one more issue on the same. I have one value like "00000000" for the column(EmpHiredate)
, when i use above expression values(ex:"20141023")
are displaying in dd/MM/yyyy format in report except value like "00000000" and giving following error:

Conversion from u0091Stringu0092 to type u0091Dateu0092

Hi,
I am fetching a date from DeliveryDate TextBox from Sales Order. I enter as 10/03/2007. As I need to fetch this value and store it in Production Order DueDate records through SDK Code.When I fetch this value from code,I get as 20070310. When I try to update my Production Order DueDate it gives me an Error Msgbox Conversion from string 20070310 to type Date is not valid. Here is my code to update production order.
Dim DelDt As String
DelDt = MyForm.Items.Item("12").Specific.value
Here DelDt shows 20070310
Now I have created an object of ProductionOrder and try to add Records,
sboProdOrder.DueDate = DelDt
On the above line it gives me that messagebox.
Can any one help me as to how can I convert this code in a working one or how to convert the string to date in VB.Net
Thanks a lot
Murtaza

Hi Murtuza,
Retrieving the value from a date-field through the value always returns the date as a string in the format yyyymmdd.
the field DueDate is a field of type DateTime.Date. to enter the date in this field, you must convert the string to a date.
The following line converts the date-string to a date.
new DateTime.Date(left(DelDt,4), mid(DelDt,5,2), right(DelDt,2))

Date conversion from YYYYMMDD to DD.MM.YYYY

Hi,
I'm trying to load some data from a flat file into BW. I have a date column in the CSV file that has the date in YYYYMMDD format. when I load it into Bw, I want to change the format to DD.MM.YYYY .
I have written a small routine that should do this, but it doesn't seem to work.
data:v_date like sy-datum,
v_date1(10) type c.
Concatenate v_date+6(2) '.' v_date+4(2) '.' v_date+0(4) into v_date1.
RESULT = V_DATE1.
The result of this routine is YY.YYMM.DD instead of DD.MM.YYYY.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Sam

Hi Keshu,
When I add the loop to my code, it doesn't seem to work. It gives me the following error:

System Response
The date cannot be converted; the process was terminated.

Any suggestions?

Conversion from milliseconds to Date in 1.5

A java.util.Date object can be constructed by passing the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 as a constructor argument. This Date can then be formatted to a human-readable format with SimpleDateFormat.
I have tested this conversion from milliseconds to a date both in Java SDK 1.4.1 and Java 1.5.0 to see if there are differences in the way dates are calculated from milliseconds. It seems that there are differences when the system timezone is set to Europe/Berlin. The dates from 1.5.0 are one hour ahead of those from 1.4.1 in a certain week in May 1945 and a day in September 1945.
This means that milliseconds that are generated from a date by using the Java 1.4.1 runtime and then stored are interpreted differently when they are retrieved when using java runtime 1.5.0, if they happen to be one of those days in 1945. This could cause discrepancies when an application is migrated to JDK 1.5.0.
This is only a minor problem, but is there any way to know what caused these changes in SDK 1.5.0 and what these changes are? Is there historical data that the Sun implementation is based on to calculate dates from millisecond values?
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards

I found the following at "http://thedailywtf.com/forums/70146/ShowPost.aspx"
In summer 1945, Berlin and the Soviet-occupied part of Germany observed a daylight savings time of two hours. Unfortunately, Sun's JRE 1.4 implementation of GregorianCalendar defines a maximum DST of one hour and, in non-lenient mode, rejects the 2 hours as invalid when recalculating all fields after the millisecond field is set.
Here's the bug report: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4639407

Struts/ADF/Toplink conversion from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3

Hi. We have a J2EE application based on Struts/ADF/Toplink.
We just let the JDeveloper migrate the whole application itself.
We solved a few minor problems, but now we have the greater one:
- we have in domain classes some getX...(), setX...() methods, intended for example
for getting attributes of nested objects or for conversion from String to Date.
In older version, when you had some getXSomeAtr() method in domain class, the attribute
XSomeAttr was automatically generated into Data Control.
In newer version it's not! If you want the attribute to be in data control, you must
have an private attribute XSomeAtr declared in domain class.
Example - we have these attibutes (first two has their own getters and setters and are
mapped in toplink, the third is unmapped)
private Date datum;
private String nazev;
private String XDatumAsDate;
and methods
public String getXDatumAsDate() {
return OurUtils.dateToStringAsDate(getDatum());
public void setXDatumAsDate(String datum) throws ParseException{
Date d = OurUtils.StringToDateAsDate(datum);
setDatum(d);
And the form look like this
<html:text property="XDatumAsDate" .../>
<html:text property="nazev" .../>
Reading is ok, but attempt to modify date in input field ends with
"JBO-35009: Setting attribute for XDatumAsDate in object methodRSICollection failed"
Are we doing something wrong ? We just need to have the date entering under our control and
be able to enter dates in various formats.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

I compared the both old and new data control xml files and found the difference. The previous attribute descriptor has IsUpdateable="true" but the new has IsUpdateable="0".
Manually changing won't help - data control generation of any class regenerates all data controls and puts back IsUpdateable="0". I'm stuck now.

Best practice video conversion from download

I am looking for best practice for video conversions.
I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:
http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip
From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).
My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.
I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.
What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's
Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in
standard video editing software for editing.

Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is
signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I
sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need
first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then
lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.
Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process,
but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last
file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has
serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common

Time conversion from u0085.Any help on this error in the PSA?

Hi,
In IDES, I chose a random infosource to test init and delta loads; in the process I created an infopackage for the load. During the load, Monitor displayed showed failure (Red); The details of the message in PSA is:
Time conversion from 0Calday to 0FISCPER (discal year) failed with value 19911021
Any guide on how to fix this problem?
Thanks

hi Amanda,
0fiscper has compound infoobject 0fiscvarnt (you can check RSD1 tab 'compound').
when uploading data, conversion will failed if 0fiscvarnt is blank/initial or the date format/value is incorret, your date from 0calday seems correct so 0fiscvarnt blank
seems it's your case, try to check in your transfer rules and mapped 0fiscvarnt infoobject, you can fill it with constant value, choose option 'constant' and fill with K4, you can only fill with values that exist in table T009T.
you can transfer these values from r/3 via rsa1->source system->transfer global settings, mark 'fiscal year' something and option 'update table' and execute.
hope this helps.

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007?

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from
RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007? We are
thinking of upgrading, but have customers that would still require
Word 2003 formats because they won't have 2007 installed.
Thanks!

Hi NewtoRobohelp
Unfortunately I don't have Office 2007 in front of me to test
with. But I'm thinking that as long as Office 2007 still produces
the same formats as 2003, you could do it this way.
From RoboHelp 7 and using Office 2007, generate Printed
ouptut. Open said printed output in Office 2007 and perform a Save
As. Save the document as a RTF (Rich Text Format) document.
RTF is more universal. So I'm thinking this may be a possible
way around it. There is also the possibility that Word 2007 offers
up an ability when saving a file to save in an older format.
Cheers... Rick
