Converting commercial template from PNG

Hello
I bought a CD with a bunch of web site templates in PNG
format. The readme says I have to use photoshop to convert them
into HTML before I import them. Is that to make all the text and
pictures editable...I would assume so?
Anyway, I don't have Photoshop; and Paint Shop Pro, which I
do have, cannot convert them to HTML (unless you know otherwise??).
So, does anyone know of any software prefereably freeware or
shareware or try-before-you-buy that would do the conversion
please?
Thanks
Phil

The idea you should give up is the one of being able to use
some "wizard" to
magically transform the image into a web page (having said
that, I now
remember a program called SiteGrinder that does a much better
job than any
graphics editor wizard, but it is commercial - Google to find
it).

I think you are mistaken, but if you switch to the advanced
tab, I can
guarantee you that you can define a site with nothing in the
Remote
Category.

What most folks here do is to upload images to some webspace
that they have
access to and post links to the pages.
But try that dreamweaverresources site for some really lovely
templates -
and they are the REAL THING.

Converting Word Templates from 2003 to 2013 Version

Hello. I work at a school environment and most of our secretaries had been running Office 2003. They have a lot of Word templates. Recently, as we have decided to upgrade Office to 2013, we have the problem of hundreds of old templates
that need to be converted over to the 2013 version.
Is there a quick and efficient way to do this? Instead of manual converting each file, one by one.
Thanks in advance!

In addition to the answer of Edward I would add the following line of code:
Sub Convert2003To2013()
' Convert2003To2013 Macro
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, wdDoc As Document
strFolder = "D:\Sample\OfficeDev\Word\OldFolder"
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
If InStrRev(strFile, ".docx") = 0 Then
Set wdDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
wdDoc.Convert
wdDoc.SaveAs2 FileName:=strFolder & "\" & Left(strFile, InStrRev(strFile, ".doc")) & "docx", _
Fileformat:=wdFormatXMLDocument, AddToRecentFiles:=False
wdDoc.Close SaveChanges:=False
End If
strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I added the wdDoc.Convert because otherwise you are not explicitly converting documents but only renaming them to .docx
The additional functionality of Office 2013 comes available when the document is actually converted. You can test this by opening the document after het has been really converted, you should be able to see the SmartArt options. If you only rename them to
.docx you will see that the 'new' smart art functionality is not available.
Doesn't mean that the provided code block by Edward doesn't work, it does a great job. My advice would be to add the convert line if you really want 'converted' files.
Last thing you have to think about is these code snippets use SaveAs2, that means that you will get two instances of your document. If you choose convert you are actually converting the original document. In that case you do not choose SaveAs2
but you use Save.

RE: Converting from png to bmp

Hi All
I'm using JAI to convert an image given to me from png to a bmp. However I keep getting
: Error: One factory fails for the operation "encode" and a huge list of areas where various errors have occured. It basically results in an empty bmp being written. Here's the code I'm using:
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
import javax.media.jai.RenderedOp;
import java.awt.image.RenderedImage;
import java.io.*;
public class PngToBmp
    private static void convPng(File theFile)
         String name = ((theFile.getName()).replace('.','_'))+".bmp"; //Setting bmp name
         RenderedImage pngImage = JAI.create("fileload", theFile.getPath()); //This is reading in the image
         RenderedOp op = JAI.create("filestore", pngImage, "C:\\"+name, "BMP"); //This writes the image to the local disk
//This third line of code that is causing the problems - according to the errors produced.
}       I also have a main method in the class to call convPng. Any ideas as to what I've done wrong? I looked at the reading in and writing out website for JAI - that's where I constructed this code from. I've clearly not understood something though.
Thanks for any help in advance.

As no one replied I finally found the solution. I can't really explain why that code posted above doesn't work I guess it has something to do with the way the png is decoded. Anyway if you want to convert a png to a bmp here's the code to do it:
    public static void convPng(String source, String path)
        try
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(path);
            RenderedOp image;
            image = JAI.create("fileload", source);
            image.getMaxX();
            JAI.create("encode", image, out, "bmp", null);
            out.close();
        catch(IOException err)
            System.out.println("!! Read/Encode Error !!");
    }The source string is the path of the png and path is where the bmp is to be saved out to.

Converting Templates From Adobe Fireworks to Joomla

Do anyone know how to transfer templates from Adobe Fireworks to Joomla or another CMS's . Cuz i wanted to create an ecommerce site ,so i'd like to create a template by myself...

No you can't transfer templates from FW to Joomla or Wordpress or Drupal or any other CMSs because the themes/templates for these packages have to be constructed in a specific way to make them work correctly.
I suggest go to Joomla's Forums and ask them how to create templates for their package. There are other forums for Wordpress and drupal as well to deal with questions like yours.
Good luck.

Why does choosing "convert to PDF" from a Word Doc's context menu bring up two Save As dialog boxes?

I have a user that every time she chooses "Convert to PDF" from the context menu on a MS Word document she gets a Save As box, enters the name and location, clicks Save. Then Word starts and it brings up another Save As box and makes her enter the name and save location AGAIN. It does then create the PDF, but it is very annoying to her as she makes lots of PDFs for our board of directors (she is our CEO). I have tried it on other PCs that have a similar setup, but none have done this. They all just run the converter window after one dialog box. Please HELP

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

Trouble converting powerpoint files with png images to pdf-Can someone help?

Hello all,
In my line of work, I create and modify large sized posters that are created in powerpoint. I would have the files print ready by converting them to pdf. I usually have little to no issues executing this. However, I have been dealing with an issue of converting ppt files with png images. The size of the ppt is typically a 42x56 file. The several ways to convert to pdf produces an error each time. Png images are very useful as they provide much clarity vs jpegs or tiffs. The 3 ways I have tried below are:
A) File>Print>Adobe PDF>High Quality print settings/300dpi results to an error message that says:
     "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current print setup. Try one of the following:
     *Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
     *Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
     *Reinstall the printer driver"
     A blank pdf opens up (Selected to open file after publishing)
B) File>Save as> Change file type as a pdf results in nothing happening. No pdf is produced.
C) Acrobat>Create PDF results to an error message that says: "An unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
Again, this all happens with ppt files with png images. I took out the png images and attempted to convert to pdf, and the pdf is produced!
Can anyone provide any assistance in creating pdfs with png images or what settings I need to adjust? I am able to covert every other image type (jpeg, tiff, bmp), except for png images.
I am using Microsoft Office 2010 with Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 (This happened on Windows XP as well).

>I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide
>master" so it will show up on every page.
PowerPoint only has to store one instance of the image even thought it is
displayed on multiple slides. But Acrobat can't do the same, the image has
to be stored for every page that it appears on, so that would explain the
larger file size.
Acrobat is supposed to be able to optimize the storage of common background
images (at least that's the message I see when I do a "Save as..."), but I
have yet to see it to work. Maybe it depends on the application the orginal
file is created in and the PDF conversion method used.
Adding the image into a PDF file later as a watermark instead may be a way
to keep the size down (then it really only does store the object once),
though I believe that watermark images will appear in front of everything
else on the page (not sure if that's a problem for you, it depends on
whether any text or objects in the presentation ever appear in front of the
image).
What are the dimensions and resolution of the image in PowerPoint? You may
be able to go as low as 75 dpi and not notice a difference, it depends on
whether the image contains any areas of high contrast or text.

How to remove .dwt templates from Creative Cloud Business Catalyst site?

Hi,
I've created a site in Dreamweaver using one of my free creative cloud sites. There is a site structure automatically in place that is using the .dwt Dreamweaver templates with editable regions. I've found this is really impairing my workflow and I would like to convert the site to just using regular .html templates without editable regions.
When I try to upload a template file with a .html extension via SFTP I get a permissions error. I haven't found any other way around this either.
Can someone help me convert the site from using .dwt templates to using .html templates without editable regions?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
All files including templates on BC are .html based. IF you have .dwt files on there it is because you did not go through the DW BC tool or extension(older DW) and just uploaded them. Delete them - BC does not use them if you have those on the host.
In terms of just directly uploading you need to ensure two things with templates.
1. The folder locally is EXACTLY the same spelling and capitalisation as the host.
2. The html file template HAS TO HAVE {tag_pagecontent} there to be classed as a template.
I think 2 may be your issue?

Batch convert EPS/AI to PNG using Javascript

Hi,
I have lots of eps and ai files which I would like to convert to PNG format. The reason for doing this is to make it easier to find the image that I want instead of opening it one by one. I know Photoshop can do the conversion but limited to JPG, PSD and TIFF only. The filesize also will be so huge and the image quality is not sharp.
One of the preset scripts for Adobe CS3 is SaveDocsAsPDF. I tried using this and then convert the PDF to PNG using Acrobat. I would required too much time to do it. I think there might be a better way to achieve the same result.
I am not a programmer and cant figure out how to tweak the SaveDocsAsPDF script and become SaveDocsAsPNG script.
It would be great if I can just select the folder and all the conversion will be done in the backgroud.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

Converting bitmap (byte[ ]) to PNG

I have a BMP in a byte[ ] that I need to convert to a PNG. I get the byte[ ] from an external application thorugh JNI so there's nothing I can do about the format. The images will end up on a webpage so bitmaps are not acceptable due to size. Using some application (image editor, whatever) to convert the images won't do it as everything has to happen automagically.
I know that the incoming bitmap is correct as the following code produces a the expected bitmap in a file:
byte[] image = // code calling a method that gets the image goes here
try {
        ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        outStream.write(image, 0, image.length);
        FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream("test.bmp");
        outStream.writeTo(writer);
         writer.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
       // error handling here
}I can't however figure out how to convert the bitmap to PNG. I'd prefer to do it directly from the byte[ ] but using a temporary BMP file is ok if it's easier.
I've tried to use the following code but it produces a 1kB black image of correct width and height.
    byte[] image = // code calling a method that gets the image goes here
    Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(image); // returns a sun.awt.windows.WImage
    int width = 100; //hardcoded at the moment as a I know the dimensions for the test images
    int height = 200;
    BufferedImage bImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    Graphics2D g2d = bImage.createGraphics();
    g2d.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height, null);
    g2d.dispose();
    try {
        File outfile = new File("test.png");
        ImageIO.write(bi, "png", outfile);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }Could anyone provide some pointers?

When looking up ImageIcon I realized that both ImageIcon and Toolkit, which I was trying to use, only support reading GIF, JPG and PNG. Neither will help me as the data I have is in BMP format.
You'll need to create a conversion between the two fileformats yourself I was afraid of that, I really don't have the time to start fiddling around with file formats.
or find one somewhere,Oh well, back to Google. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Should you convert footage anyway from a 7d?

I have been experiencing fcpx running VERY slow. This next project will be saved on an external drive and I'll convert the footage from my Canon 7d like I had to do in fcp 7.
Any thoughts out there...
Monty

Hi Ironi,
MTR is just for "ripping" any copy protection on a commercial... HB does so either PLUS it converts into lossy mpeg4...
you're goal, to make DVD content editable can only be reached by converting the footage into "dv".
there are many tools on the market doing so, the mentioned Streamclipper (free, but you need addtionally the Apple mpeg2 plugin for 20$...)
for a beginner, I recommend DVDxDV, it has a 30d trial period (testdrive sets a watermark)... and costs 25$.
for sure, ANY converting of a DVD is lossy, because the format of the DVD itself is lossy... I know, it doesn't look so on TV, but in technical terms it is... don't judge the quality of conversion on your Mac's screen... as you know, pic quality can only be judged on TV....
hope, that helps..........

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value

Hi Gurus,
Its about calling a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value.
My requirement is like:
I got a quote report from Siebel, based on the product PartNumber I need to pull product description or literature from another database database.
My approach is something like; get a partnumber from quote report pass it to another rtf template which uses the partnumber and get the data from table using DataSource. When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.
I've gone through all available blogs about sub-reports and white papers from Oracle they are not much helpful since I need step-by-step.

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value try in main template create hyperlink of url with parameters for another template
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ru/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition

I have an AT&T iphone 6 and want to give my AT&T 4 to my wife but she is a Sprint customer. How involved would it be to convert my 4 from AT&T to Sprint?

I Have an AT&T iPhone 6 and wants to give my AT&T 4 to my wife but she is a Sprint customer. Is this possible and, if so, how involved is it to convert my 4 from AT&T to Sprint?

Likely not possible.
Sprint is a CDMA carrier which typically do not support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) .
You will have to ask Sprint if they can offer service on a unlocked GSM Phone that does not have the CDMA chip.
Its unlikely they will though. But if they do, you will need to request AT&T unlock your iPhone so you can insert a Sim card form another carrier into it
