Converting EBCIDC file to ASCII with OWB

Hi
How can you convert EBCIDC files into ASCII with OWB 10gR2?
Thanks!

See the paper
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/COBOL%20Data%20Integration%20with%20OWB10gR2.pdf
for details. I thought there was also the demo MDL for it, but the paper has lots of useful info.
Cheers

How do I convert a file into inx with cs5.5?

Hello,
How do I convert a file in indesign cs5.5 into the interchange format?
Thanks for your answers

A complete review can be found here, but basically, you can't. CS4 was the last version that was able to generate INX - the format was replaced with IDML. You must export IDML with CS5.5, open that IDML in CS4, then export INX from CS4.
Why do you need INX? If it's for someone with CS3, then that person may not get a useable file, if any features introduced after CS3 were used in the CS5.5 document.

I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf. (I am able to convert image files & excel)
I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file.
I am getting the error popup:
Unable to open the document
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
I am running:
Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Microsoft Office 2007

Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

How to convert .MP3 files into .AAC with iTunes 10.5.2

Im running a Mac OS X 10.5.8, and my iTunes version is 10.5.2.
I want to convert .MP3 files into .AAC using iTunes, but no option is given for me. What should I do?

im not going to change all my songs into AAC, I was experiementing around with making ringtones for my iphone. I can open a song in Garageband, and export it as an AAC file to my itunes, but it is very annoying. I remember older versions of itunes having a "Convert to AAC" option, but i can't find it anymore on this current version of itunes.
Basically, I want to convert a couple songs into AAC to create ringtones out of them.

How can I convert .mov files for use with other apps?

When loading movies taken on a friend's digital camera to my PC, the video files were saved as Quicktime .mov files. I am now unable to pull those files into any other software program (I want to put them onto a CD or DVD and play on external players.) How can I convert .mov files to a .wmv or .avi or mpeg?
Thanks - J

Kodak Digital Camera QuickTime MOV Problems
After battling a number of serious problems with the videos taken by my new Kodak Digital Camera, I decided to write up this page so that anyone searching the web would find out the true answers without as much grief!
I’ve also made some other comments about my experience with the camera, in case anyone was considering buying a Kodak camera in the near future.
I bought the camera just before Christmas 2004 in the US. At the time of writing, it is a pretty good model for domestic use—about 5.2 megapixels, costing about US$400 (or AU$600 back here in Australia). From a company as reputable as Kodak, I expected no problems.
The first disappointing thing was that the spring inside the spring-loaded battery clip, inside the camera, came loose within days. It proved impossible to reattach it without completely dismantling the camera, which (despite my engineering qualifications) I was not willing to do. This would usually have been a warranty item, but Kodak’s warranty does not extend to other countries. I’ve since had to jam cardboard in to keep the battery clip engaged, and have taped the battery bay shut to avoid it opening accidentally when taking the camera out of the case. This works fine with the docking station (an extra AU$100!), but it means I can no longer charge the battery without the docking station (since you need to take it out to charge it). I was not impressed!
The camera takes good photos, and I have no complaint with that. The controls and camera menus are well-designed. The large display is excellent.
The EasyShare software is not as easy to use as it looks, has a habit of crashing, has a web update program that is always running in the background of Windows, and transferring images is nowhere as easy or quick as it should be. I’ve now uninstalled it completely, and simply copy the photos directly from the device. (If the camera memory is nearly full, and you just want to transfer the last few photos, then it’s impossible to use the EasyShare software to browse the camera’s photos without it actually downloading the whole lot through the USB cable—and it takes forever! Copying from the device directly doesn’t hit this bug.)
The capability to take video using the camera was a great attraction when I selected it, and, if it worked properly, it would make it quite a handy little camcorder in its own right. With a 512 MB memory card in it, over an hour of video can be recorded at Video-CD quality (320 x 240 24fps video, 8 kHz audio). It’s not full digital video, but it would still be a pretty good feature for a US$400 camera. If it worked.
The first disappointing thing about taking videos is that the optical zoom cannot be adjusted while the camera is recording. It can only be adjusted between video sequences. I don’t know why this restriction was made in the design.
The real problems, however, start when you try to do anything with the video clips captured by the camera. Kodak has chosen to capture the videos in QuickTime format. This is fine—QuickTime is, technically, excellent—except that there is no simple way to convert QuickTime MOV files to AVI or MPEG or VCD. The Kodak software comes with a QuickTime player, so you can see the video clips on the computer you installed the software on—and they look good. Problem is that you can’t just dump those MOV files onto your Video-CD creator (it will usually want AVI or MPEG files).
It takes some time to realise that Kodak have not even bothered to include any software with the camera that can convert these MOV files to a more useful format. This is a serious PR blunder, and anyone bitten by this is unlikely to go near the Kodak brand ever again.
After some web searching, owners of these cameras generally find that the best (only?) freeware solution to convert MOV to AVI is Bink and Smacker’s RADtools program.
RADtools is amazingly powerful for the price (i.e. free), but it hits two fundamental problems with Kodak Digital Camera MOV video files, that are the fault of the Kodak camera, not RADtools. (I know this because every other MOV converter hits the same problems—except one, as you will see below.)
The first problem is that the sound cannot be converted properly. When you convert any Kodak MOV files, there is an “aliasing” of the sound at the upper frequencies. This is a technical description—you get a whispery, tinny, C3PO type of echo to everything. It really destroys the quality of the video clips (especially bad when I am trying to capture priceless memories of my 4- and 7-year-old sons—I don’t want their voices destroyed for all time).
Every conversion program I tried ended up with the same audio problem. I concluded that it is something strange in the way the Kodak cameras store the MOV files.
Strangely enough, I noticed that the QuickTime player didn’t distort the audio like this. The audio sounds just fine through QuickTime. More on this shortly.
The second, more serious problem is that RADtools could not properly convert some of the video clips at all. (This problem only affected less than 10% of the clips I originally filmed, but most of those clips were very short—less than 20 seconds. It seems that the probability of this problem gets worse, the longer the clip.) RADtools would misreport the number of frames in the clip, and would stretch out a small number of frames of video (in slow motion) to match the length of the audio.
Again, I confirmed that this is a property of some of the MOV files stored by the camera. Other conversion tools also had problems with the same MOV clips.
After more angst, I found a number of websites in which frustrated owners of these Kodak cameras have reported the exact same problems.
It was only then that I discovered that QuickTime itself can convert MOV files to AVI. Believe it or not, it’s built into the QuickTime Player that Kodak supplies, or that you can download free from apple.com. The problem is that you can’t use it unless you pay Apple to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
After realising that this would probably be the only way to get decent audio for these clips, I paid the AU$59 to Apple Australia to get the licence key that enables the extra “Pro” menu options in QuickTime.
Sure enough, you can “Export” any MOV file to a number of formats, including AVI. And guess what? The audio comes out fine!
So, the first piece of advice I can give is: pay Apple the US$29 (or whatever amount it is in your country) to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro.
From here, however, there are still a few snags to untangle.
The first is that the default settings for Exporting to AVI don’t give a great result. It defaults to the Cinepak codec, medium quality. This looks terrible compared to the original QuickTime movie. Even on maximum quality, that codec just doesn’t give good results.
I finally found that the best option is to use the Intel Indeo Video 4.4 codec, set on maximum quality. This creates AVI files that are 10 to 20 times larger than the original MOV files, but the quality is there. If (like me) you only want the AVI files so you can dump them into your Video-CD program, then you want to keep the quality as high as possible in this first step. The extra hard disk space is not really a concern. When your VCD program converts the AVI files to MPEG, it will compress them to the usual VCD size.
Now for the biggest snag: those problem MOV files are still a problem, even for QuickTime Pro. Unbelievably, these Kodak cameras are spitting out MOV files which have some sort of technical flaw in their data specifications. QuickTime is able to play them back fine—and that seems to be all that the Kodak engineers really checked. However, if QuickTime Pro tries to export them, then when the progress bar gets to the end, it never finishes. It just keeps going. If you check the output folder with Explorer, and keep hitting F5 to update the file listing, you can see the file getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It never stops.
That this happens even for QuickTime itself (the native format for these files) confirms that the problem is with the software built into these Kodak cameras. It would be nice it they issued a patch or a fix. I couldn’t find one.
Fortunately, there is a “workaround” for this problem. I found it when trolling the net trying to find solutions to all these problems. The workaround is to use QuickTime Pro’s cut and paste facility. Open the problem MOV file, then press Ctrl-A (the standard key combination for “select all”—in this case it selects the entire film clip, as you can see by the grey selection of frames at the bottom of the player). Then hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy, which in this case copies all the frames, but not the incorrect data structure in the original MOV file). Now hit Ctrl-N (i.e. new, in this case a new MOV file or player). In this new player, press Ctrl-V (i.e. paste). Now you have a new version of the MOV file with the bad data structure exorcised. You can save this under a new name, but make sure you specify “Make movie self-contained”—otherwise, it will simply be a link to the original (bad) MOV file, which you are probably going to delete once you save the exorcised version. (You also cannot overwrite the original file, because it needs to access that to make the “self-contained” movie. You need to give it a slightly different name, save it “self-contained”, then delete the original and rename the new copy back to what you wanted it to be. A pain, I agree, but at least the **** thing works—finally!)
The exorcised MOV file can now be used to Export to AVI format. (I also keep all the MOV files on a separate CD, in case I want to reconvert them to a different format in the future. I figure it’s better keeping the exorcised ones than the haunted ones.)
So I hope that all this answers a few of your questions. No, you weren’t being incredibly stupid.

I need a simple program to convert flac files to mp3 with album art

Is there a fairly simple program that will convert files and imbed album art by track? All of my music files are flac with album art included in the album folder.

Not sure of any software that will do the conversion and automatically embed album art, but LameDropXPD is a free, super-simple drag and drop conversion tool that will accept flac input: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lamedrop.php#lamedrop-current and MP3Tag (also free) has an option to do batch embedding of album art.

Convert PDF File to ASCII / Text File

Hello,
I have a PDF File that was created from a Spools (Output of Smart Form to begin with and run in background) using the SAP Function module - CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and I have the pdf file archived.
Now, I need to do Reverse process. The original Spool is gone, and I need to extract some data from the pdf file - say, for example:
I need to extract A/c numbers where the Label is "Account No:" followed by value of the Account No.
I opened the pdf file in Binary mode, stored into an internal table of type Hex and then LOOP ed through this table.
Moved the Hex data to a long enough data field of Type C to use "CS" operator in an IF Statement to look for the String "4163636F756E74204E6F3A" which is Hex representation of 'Account No:' (without the single quotes).
I can see 'Account No:' in the PDF File but my IF Statement with CS fails. I even tried to find the Zip Code using CS Statement - it fails too.
Some sample codes that I used are as follows:
LV_TAG_1_C = '4163636F756E74204E6F3A'.
refresh: T_DATA_FILE_C.
LOOP AT T_DATA_FILE_X.
    ASSIGN T_DATA_FILE_C-DATA TO <FS_C>.
    T_DATA_FILE_C-DATA     = T_DATA_FILE_X-DATA.
    IF T_DATA_FILE_C-DATA CS LV_TAG_1_C.
* The Above IF Statement NEVER became TRUE - even though I can see the "Account No:"
      LV_VAL_1_C = <FS_C>+SY-FDPOS(6).
      APPEND T_DATA_FILE_C.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Outside LOOP, T_DATA_FILE_C is still EMPTY.
Please let me know if you know of any example where I can extract data in ASCII format from a PDF File.
Please NOTE - I do NOT need to convert a spool to PDF File (whole website is full of this) - I need the opposite !!!
Help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Tarun

Hello Manish,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. This pdf file is really not a 1 to 1 representation of ASCII to Hex and vice verse. Your suggestion is really good.
I think, we are very close. Do you know the Function Module name that I need to use - this is what we have in ECC / R/3. An example with which Function module I need to use with some sample code - basically, what I need to supply and where does the result go - will be great.
Thanks again Manish.

Converting .wmv files to work with in FCP

Hi-
I was given cell phone footage that was saved into .wmv files. The client wants to enhance them a little, so I need to work with them in FCP 7.
What would be the best format to convert them to? I'll probably use streamclip to convert them. What do you guys recommend?
thanks!

Hi Jim-
Yes, I have the Flip4mac software (love it!!).
And yes, this is UGLY!!!!! ;-) But it's all they have of an accident scene, so we're stuck. I told them, garbage in, garbage out. they understand.
I am using mpeg streamclip to do the actual conversion. Are there any other setting you think I should click?

Converting DVD Files to DV with Toast and Storage Issues

Hello all.
In regard to my previous posting of converting to DV in Toast, I have started this new thread because I can't seem to reply to the other posting. When I originally dragged the Video TS folder from the DVD into the Toast window, it somehow didn't load completely although it seemed as though it did.
I then decided to import the material via the Media pane and everything then worked fine. These are movies originally filmed in 8 mm silent movie film a long time ago. I had sent some of them away to be transferred directly from film to MiniDv tape which gave me excellent clarity and color. But that was expensive. So I decided to transfer my remaining film which I had transferred to VHS tape when that first technology first came out.

Converted VOB file to mpeg with Freemake Video Converter and still not able to load same file in Premiere CS6

I have this project where I needed to change the audio part from a dvd so first tried to load VOB file but Adobe Premiere did not support VOB file so then used Freemake Video Convert tool to convert in to mpeg file so that I can import in premiere timeline. Still no success so I guess its not supported either.

Maybe you are missing some codec. CS6 does support mpeg.

Unable to convert text file to PDF

Hi,
Using Adobe Pro 9 Distiller on Windows 2008 64bit server. So far using Distiller to convert .eps files to .pdf with Standard job options file. I need to convert a .txt file to .pdf and am not able to convert using any of the OOTB job options settings that came with Distiller product installation.
Below is the Distiller output when I tried with Standard job options settings
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MBLDxxxx-03.rpt ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Can anyone please provide me settings or job options file settings to convert reports in text format to PDF? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to generate the PDF using the Adobe PDF writer by opening the text file. Not an issue on 64 bit platform. The .NET application using Distiller to convert eps to PDF via Distiller and moves it over to a watch folder. Another application picks it up and bursts the large PDF to individual PDFs. I need to automatically convert txt to PDF and submit it for burst. Looking for ways to leverage Distiller to automatically convert the txt to PDF. Is it possible? Thanks.

Converting "UTF8" files to other encodings in Text Wrangler

Hi and thanks for your help
I have several text files I can easily use in different ways using Text Wrangler.
I need to convert text files originally written with different enchodings and I get errors.
I can overcome this using this script:
tell application "TextWrangler"
   tell document 1
       set line breaks to Unix
       set encoding to "Cyrillic (Windows)"
   end tell
end tell
However my attempts to create a loop always return this error
TextWrangler got an error: An unexpected error occurred while processing an Apple Event (MacOS Error code: -10000)
What is wrong with my script?
set inputfolder to (choose folder)
set theFiles to list folder inputfolder without invisibles
tell application "TextWrangler"
repeat with x from 1 to count of theFiles
          set thefile to item x of theFiles
          set inputfile to quoted form of (POSIX path of inputfolder & thefile)
set line breaks to Unix
       set encoding to "Cyrillic (Windows)"
   end tell
end repeat

If its not typo you have the end tell inside the end repeat. Should be the other way.
      set encoding to "Cyrillic (Windows)"
   end tell
end repeat
end
That shouldn't even compile.
