Converting from LDA_DEF to SvcCtx structure

Does anybody know how to convert from an LDA_DEF structure (OCI 7) to a service context (OCI 8). We tried to use OCISvcCtxtoLda function but it doesn't work.
Can someone help, please?
thanx

Here are the best advice for moving catalogs :

The principle is quite straightforward : you do a full backup of your catalog from PSE5 organizer on an external disk and you use PSE9 to restore it. PSE9 should prompt you to convert the catalog : you do. It will then create a copy of the catalog folder (the one containing the database) in its own format.
My suggestion is not to choose the same location for restore, due to differences in the Windows versions folder structure. Rather create a new top photo folder, for instance 'My pictures new' and check the option to keep the folder structure as also advised in the links above. The resulting structure may look a bit strange, but you won't have to reconnect missing files due to Windows variations in folder naming and structure.
If you start with a clean catalog, after a search for missing files, checking for errors and optimizing, everything should go well.
Remember though that you will get back your catalog and pictures, but you'll perhaps have to reinstall actions and plugins you may have in PSE5. This can be done on a case by case method.

Converting from Elements 5 to 9, one catalog, many folders

I am getting ready to convert from version 5 to v9. i have made a complete catalog backup to external drive. Over the years with 3 different users of the system we have unfortunately managed to place pictures in many various folder locations. Is there an easy way to get those under one folder location? If i move a folder it will obviously show a broken link and then i must reconnect the picture in the catalog which could take may hours or days of tedious work if i move lots of folders with lots of pictures. I have my pictures in elements grouped like i want to by tags and catagories but would like to have organized in a single folder structure.
Also, during the conversion from 5 to 9 when it asks about converting catalogs will i have any issues with the folders spread out all over the place? I shouldn't if they are all in the same catalog, correct?
thanks for anyones help.

Bug? Accessibility Tags Converting from Word 2007

This seems like a minor issue, but it's one that could create a lot of frustration for a disabled person using a screenreader to read tabular data in a PDF.
As you know, Acrobat plays nicely with Office apps allowing users to create tagged (structured), accessible PDF documents from MS Office files. I just created a simple docx file with a table (attached), and when I converted it to PDF, I noticed a difference in the tags it creates compared to conversion from Word XP. As you see in the Word file, the table is very basic, except that one of its column headers is split into two cells. This is actually a very common technique for presenting table data. In order to automatically tag the header rows as table header cells <TH> in the PDF, I set the first two rows to "Repeat Header Rows."
Converting from Word 2007 with the "Save as Adobe PDF," or any other method that uses the Acrobat plugin, creates a tag tree that is missing a <TH> tag. I found the problem when I was testing a file with JAWS screenreading software. Using the JAWS "current cell" command (Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5) to announce the column headers. It reads the wrong header for the current cell due to the missing <TH>. So, in my example file, it announces $2 and $5 as 2010 amounts rather than 2009. That could be pretty confusing to a screen reading user, to say the least.
I then compared the result to the new Word 2007 "Save as PDF or XPS" feature. That feature tagged the file properly and the header columns match up.
Compare the attached "save-as-adobe-pdf.gif" to"save-as-pdf-xps.gif". Note the empty (but necessary) <TH> tag in the latter image.
Just as a sanity check I had a coworker with Word XP convert the file. Those tags were correct too. So, this must be a problem between Acrobat and Word 2007.
Anyone have other observations on this? I'm going to be leading some accessibility training and right now, it looks like using the Word 2007 conversion feature is the way to go.
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I sense your frustration. For any organization that has to or wants to engage in providing accessible online information
a serious logistics support issue raises its head. To do PDF, HTML, whatever the proper way (and it can be done)
requires more resources (training, knowledge, hardware, software, changes to work flows, perhaps some more staff).
The is no "work smarter with less & pump out more" in this venue.
Yes, it is helpful (and necessary) to "be one" with the S508 "paragraphs" - WCAG 1.0 - WCAG 20.
However, once anyone begins to provide PDFs that must be "accessible" the first, single most important reference is ISO 32000.
The Adobe PDF References that preceded PDF becoming an ISO Standard are useful; but, ISO 32000 is the standard.
In this documentation there is full discussion of what *must* be done to provide an accessible PDF.
Without a firm understanding of this content, other information tends to bring about a defused opacity of focus which can
contribute to major conceptual errors vis-a-vis accessible PDF.
Leonard Rosenthol's AUC blog entry provides a link to the ISO permitted Adobe version (free) of ISO 32000-1.
http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000
Additional, useful information is found in these two documents:
(1) - PDF Accessibility API Reference (from the Acrobat SDK)
https://acrobat.com/#d=J7bWW4LvNoznh8fHCsfZDg
(2) - Reading PDF Files Through MSAA
https://acrobat.com/#d=uIOvkVTP74kag3bXFJLIeg
About JAWS - Yes, much used. However, not the exlusively used AT application.
If I use Windows Eyes, NVDA, a braille reader, or something else then what?
JAWS *does not* define "it is accessible"...
re: (1)
"Game away and if it ...."
   Consider "Stop before right on red".
   "Compliance" is Stop on Red - Turn Right
   "Intent" (aka usability) is Stop on Red - Look Good for on coming traffic that has the right of way - Yield - when clear, turn right.
But, at least we are not talking about "left on red" 8^)
re: (2)
Just an observation. A defective product that claims to be "whole" can get entities (individuals/businesses) into a sticky wicket.
Putting a high volume of defective products on one's selves only increases the probability that one gets 'busted'.
Quantity replacing Quality just is not a success precursor.
Case in point - Target and the national class action legal action that was taken against it with regards to "accessibility" of online information/services.
Resolved now - see NFB's web site.
re: (3)
Ah, but what would Judge Judy or Judge Marily say?
Efficiency does not preclude providing a "whole" product.
I doubt that there will ever be a seamless "one-click" between products of any of the dominant software houses.
They are intense competitors. That this is the case does not abrogate others from providing a "whole" product, no?
So, if the organization wants the "we do accessible PDF" label then it pays the freight - Adobe Pro, training, appropriate work flows, etc
that permit delivery of PDFs that meet the standards for what a well formed tagged output PDF is (accessible is a sub-set of this).
For PDF there is no other way.
If this cannot be done then there is always HTML as an acceptable method (to some it is the preferred and only "true" way).
However, HTML, done "right" for accessiblilty is just as demanding in its own way.
With each AT version / dot version release, JAWS - Windows Eyes - NVDA & others hone in closer on utilizing PDF ISO Standard 32000.
That means if you deploy "accessible" PDF you need to provide PDF that live to the ISO standard.
Keep in mind that S508's paragraphs began when, effectively, HTML was "it". In software terms that was geologic eons ago.
For contemporary AT to effectively parse PDF, the PDF must be a well formed Tagged PDF having a format/layout that reflects a logical hierarchy.
Creation of all this must start in the authoring environment with the content author.
The post-process PDF output then assures that the PDF elements (tags) are the correct type, have the requisite attributes, etc.
Without this, AT will not be able to provide the end-user effect utilization of the PDF.
So, for AT to properly 'work' the PDF, <TH> elements *must* have the Scope attribute's value defined, Row and Column Span values defined, etc.
Scope, Row Span, Column Span, Table IDs and Headings must be added as part of the post-processing of a PDF using Acrobat Professional.
An alternative is the Netcentric CommonLook plug-in for Acrobat Professional. What it does, Acrobat Pro can do; however, the CommonLook
provides a robust user interface. Downside: at some $1k per seat it is not 'cheap' and it has a *steep* learning curve (Sitka Pass?).
Two table related resources are at this AUC thread (in post 3 and 4). They may be of some usefulness.

When the "smelly stuff" gets feed into the maw of the fan it's prudent to not be directly down stream, eh.
Consider Target and the situation they put themselves in.
Consider submittal of accessible PDF to fedgov or stategov agencies.
They won't be in front of the fan if usability of the PDFs becomes an issue.
Rather, it will be those submitting. After all the agency did say "accessible".
Better to slow down and do it right or ramp up resource loading to support "schedule" than to stake oneself out as someones "feed" tomorrow, no?
In the final analysis, for PDF, HTML, or any 'format', Accessibility is the Usability + Compliance.
Does it take improvements in professional development/training, adequate hardware/software, *time*?
Yes. But, it all comes down to "where the rubber hits the road" - what tires are you on?
It can be done. I do it one small step at a time every day. Often, that's what it takes.
Deliverables are provided; but, with no mis-labeling and the incremental progress is identified, celebrated and the whole thing continues until
the "road" is completed properly.
Don't want wash outs, bridge collapse or what not tomorrow <g>.
(But then I'm a fan of "Holmes on Homes" which may go a long way towards understanding my point of view when it comes to accessible PDF.)
re: function(){Return ....
Good question.
My guess - either from the cut & paste I initially performed from the application I'd been using to assemble write up and screenshots or something associated with the Adobe Forum application.
It can't be that I'm 'special'; if that was the case one of my occassional lotto quick picks would have been a big $ winner long ago <G>.

Mediator To Spring Error-Could not convert from java interface to interface

Hi,
I have a requirement to using a Spring component and my composite application would be File Read -> Mediator -> Spring Component -> File Write.
I have to read a file and using mediator map the same to the Spring input and write the Spring component output to a file.
I have created a Java interface ( Package Name - transformtospring , Interface Name - TransformInterface) and also created a Java Class ( TransformImpl ) which implements the Interface in this package. Saved all these artifacts in SCA-INF/src folder of the application.
My Spring Bean configuration file is as follows ( saved the file in the same folder as composite.xml )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

<bean class="transformtospring.TransformImpl" name="TransformBean"/>
<sca:service name="TransformService" target="TransformBean"

</beans>
I have created a Spring Context which uses the above Spring Configuration. When i tried to map the mediator output to Spring , i'm getting an error shown below.
" Could not convert from java interface to interface type wsdl . Exception=java.lang.ClassNotFoundException transformtospring.TransformImpl "
Please do let me know where exactly i'm doing wrong.

Hi All,
I could able to work this one out now !!!
But i'm having an issue mapping the input to this service. The method signature for the service is as follows:

So the input for this Service is a byte array. Now i'm mapping the data from a File Input ( Read File - opaqueElement ) to this service directly ( using mediator ).
Now when i have looked into the message in the Enterprise Manager, following is the message structure from Read File input to the service.

I have included System.out statements in my Java class , but its not printing anything in the logs.
I'm under the impression that the underlying infrastructure ( mediator ) transparently encodes and decodes data from base64Binary to java byte array. So could anyone help me on this !!!

Oracle9i How to convert from undo tables to rollback segments

Hi,
Anyone try before converting from UNDO management to using rollback segment....What are the procedures for the conversion...
Thank You...

Hi,
Follow these steps to convert from Auto UNDO to Rollback Segs....
1. With the database opened, create a rollback tablespace and then create some rollback segments and bring them online like this
CREATE ROLLBACK SEGMENT RBS1 TABLESPACE RBS;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RBS1 ONLINE;
2. Then edit the PFILE and modify these parameters
Add: ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS=(RBS1,RBS2,RBS3....)
Comment: UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO and UNDO_TABLESPACE=UNDOTBS or whatever name you have for your UNDO tablespace.
3. Shutdown the database gracefully(normal).
4. Startup pfile=<Pfile path>
5. Sync these new parameter changes to the SPFILE by recreating the SPFILE.
6. Take a full level 0 backup of your database as the structure has changed.
The next time you start the database, it will use the SPFILE which is same as the PFILE.
Regards.

Convert from Managed to Referenced

Greetings,
I posted this question once before, just wanted to try again.
I followed Sierra Dragon's recommendation on upgrading my library (over 300GB in size). I am about to convert from managed to referenced, but I have a specific filing structure in Aperture that I would like to maintain on my FW800 drive.
Basically, every folder starts with the year, the 2 digit month followed by the name of the month, (2010 10 October). Within each of these folders are my projects. This sorting helps me keep track of my favorite subjects.... (My family).
That being said, when I convert, it would appear that Aperture will keep each picture in the project but not do so by folder. I want to maintain the folder structure. Does anyone have any input on how this is accomplished.
My thanks to all.
De Colores...
Michael

Hi Michael,
I don't have time this morning for a thorough (or, apparently, concise) response. See if this is in any way helpful.
I followed Sierra Dragon's recommendation on upgrading my library (over 300GB in size). I am about to convert from managed to referenced, ...
Good. Moving your Masters off your system drive (assuming that's where they are) should give you a performance boost as well as allowing you to expand your holdings.
but I have a specific filing structure in Aperture that I would like to maintain on my FW800 drive.
Why (I mean that)? What advantages do you get from this unique filing structure? Can those advantages be had with anything simpler, more standard, or easier-to-implement?
That being said, when I convert, it would appear that Aperture will keep each picture in the project but not do so by folder. I want to maintain the folder structure.
This is, ime, a waste of your time. Aperture already doesn't store your digital negatives this way. (Right-click your Aperture Library in Finder and select "Show Package Contents to see how Aperture stores your files. Look but don't touch.) When you convert from a Managed Masters to a Referenced Masters Library, your Library structure remains untouched: your Image Folder structure is not altered. All that happens is that digital negatives are moved, and the pointers in your Library are pointed to the new locations outside the LIbrary instead of the current locations inside the Library.
One of the powerful but odd things which Aperture does is to separate image management from file management. File management structures are fixed (and unwieldy). Aperture frees the user from those confines (and for many users, keeps this secret). You surely know this already, but now as you convert from a Managed Masters Library to a Referenced Masters Library is a good time to examine it again. You want to view your Projects by date? Go to Projects View and sort by date. You can group by year and drill down. With effective Project-naming, your can filter by type (e.g.: family, personal, work, birds). Your tools for image viewing are much more powerful. Want to see all shots of your dog during the first year of its life? No problem (as long as you've keyworded well). You can even set up Smart Albums -- as many as you like -- for this or (almost) any imaginable sub-set of your images. And when your interests change, you can delete the Smart Album (or Album) and not worry at all about losing your images.
I realize none of that is new to you. The point I'm trying to make is that your Library structure can and should be designed foremost to meet your image retrieval needs (and not your file storage needs). Each digital negative lives in one and only one Project. Beyond that, you are free. In your case, it may make sense to create a structure based on family rather than one based on date. The date structure is hard-coded into Aperture -- you can't lose it, you can always use it, and you don't have to reproduce it in your Library.
My suggestion is to treat separately your file storage from your image storage (don't use your file storage structure as your image storage structure), and develop an image storage structure which works great for you that is not based on "when shot". (And again, "when shot" is very valuable -- so valuable, it's irremovably hard-coded into your images and into Aperture, which is why you needn't recreate it.)
Back to your question: if Aperture won't create the Finder folder names you want, use the great Name Mangler to batch rename your Finder folders. At most you'll have to run it through twelve times, once for each month. This would be a one-time change. After that, you'll have to manually create new folders (might as well do them in sets of twelve), and then when you Import point to the storage folder.
None of that is, respectfully and imho, worth the effort.

Converting from PDF to MS Word back to PDF

We have documents that are in PDF that need to be updated. We have discovered that when converting from PDF to MS Word and then back to PDF - the formatting is lost in the process.
Is there a way to maintain the formatting? Or, can you edit directly in PDF? Or - will we have to create all new master MS Word documents for future updates?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
David Jenkins
[email protected]

You should create master documents in WORD for all documents that you want to update. If you use PDF Maker, the conversion back is a bit more smooth since the structure information is included in the PDF as tags. However, the PDF make end up bloated as a result. You should consider a PDF the electronic equivalent of a piece of paper. If you were to correct paper you would use white-out. If you were to convert it back to WORD, you would scan it, OCR and hopefully have a reasonable result in WORD. You can typically do better with a PDF than with paper, but the concept is still the same. You should never consider creating a PDF as a master document, but always keep the original.
What needs to be done now (if someone deleted all of the originals) is to convert them back and then fix the formating and such. Graphics will typically convert back OK, but maybe not in exactly the way you wanted. Sometimes, you can use export all images (Advanced>Document Processing in AA8) to save the images in the quality you might like.
Editing can be done in a PDF, but should only be for minor corrections. Sometimes, even the minor corrections are a pain. In such cases, you should always work on a copy so you can always go back.
So the answers to what you asked are: 1) with PDF Maker, but not perfect; 2) minor edits, possibly painful; 3) You should create all new master WORD documents and not delete them in the future - not required, but a best route.

ABAP code needed to convert from 0calmonth2 & 0calyear to 0calmonth

Hi SAP GURUS,
Can anybody give me the ABAP code to convert from 0calmonth2 and 0calyear to 0calmonth.and please suggest me whether i have to write start routine or end routine in transformations.
Thanks ALL.

hi,
in the transformation map 0calmonth2 and 0calyear to the 0calmonth field, and from drop down choose routine.
there will be an area where it will be mentioned write your piece of code below this line.
paste the below code:
Concatenate source_fields-0calmonth2 source_fields-0calyear into result.
also delete the line result = .

The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

Hi all,
Greetings for the day
I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
Thanks in advance.

How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
Gina

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

How do you stop DNG Converter from embedding Adobe's ACR default settings instead of custom settings?

I notice that the new version of Adobe DNG Converter (8.6, and maybe earlier) appears to place Adobe's ACR defaults in the converted file. Thus, the converted files open up in Bridge with an indication that they already have settings made, and, hence, ACR does not apply the custom camera settings. One has to Clear Settings first in Bridge, then open in ACR.
This behavior is new, perhaps to 8.6. But it's presence defeats the purpose of having custom Camera Defaults.
Is there any way to prevent DNG Converter from installing settings?

ssprengel wrote:
What do you mean by “custom camera settings”? Do you mean you’ve changed the Camera Raw defaults for a particular camera and those aren’t being seen until you do a Reset? Or do you mean some sort of Nikon-settings that Adobe never looks at?
Also at what point in the workflow are you converting these files, just after copying them to your hard-disk and before touching them with any other Adobe software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Nikon software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Bridge/ACR, initially as NEFs?
I mean my custom camera defaults that are set by the Save New Camera Defaults for a given camera.
My workflow is to take my original raw files first into Adobe DNG Converter. I then open the folder in Bridge. At this point I notice that my original raw files remain unaltered (there is no "settings" icon in the top right corner – circle with two lines and up-arrows – in the image's thumbnail), but the converted dng's (otherwise untouched and unopened in ACR) have a "settings" icon. When I open the original raw file in ACR, it opens using my custom camera defaults. When I open the otherwise virgin dng in ACR, it opens using the Adobe defaults (the same defaults that would be employed if no custom camera default had been set).
This behavior is new. DNGs formed by earlier versions of the DNG Converter did not apply any settings to the converted file, and when they opened in Bridge, they were given the custom camera settings.
In order to retain the old (and proper) behavior, I now have to take the just-converted documents into Bridge, select them, and immediately apply Develop Settings/Clear Settings. That gets rid of the settings that have been installed by the DNG Converter (as well as the "settings" icon on the thumbnail).
I notice there is a new feature in Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, namely, a panel-specific toggle between the settings and the default settings. This indicates to me the likelihood that Adobe has been making some alterations with the settings that is having unintended consequences. It clearly is not proper for DNG Converter to be adding (installing) settings, because that prevents the custom camera default settings from being applied, and hence defeats the purpose of the custom camera default settings.

Applescript to convert from AW6 spreadsheets to Excel

I have an iMac (iMac12,2) running OS 10.9.1 with applications of Pages’09 (4.3), Pages (5.0.1), Numbers’09 (2.3) and Numbers (3.0.1) available.
One of my laptops is a MBA (MacBookAir1,1) that I have kept at 10.6.8 with applications Appleworks (6.2.2) and Appleworks (6.6.9) available.
Recently, I converted many CWWP documents from AW6 into Pages. This was done on the iMac with an Applescript that copied a file (AnyDocumentCWWP) to the desktop as a file named AWV6, opened AWV6 with Pages’09, saved the result as AWV6.Pages, applied the creation date and modify dates of the original to AWV6.Pages, moved the new AWV6.Pages to the original directory and moved the original file to the trash, renamed AWV6.Pages to the original filename (excluding extension). The Pages version of the original document does not preserve the formatting of the CWWP, but the content was now discoverable with Spotlight. Since I was primarily concerned with the content, I would consider the conversion effort successful enough.
I performed the same sort of process on the iMac with CWSS documents converting from AW6 into Numbers. Here the results were less successful. I discovered that many of the converted spreadsheets had cells where the cell contained the last calculated value in substitute for the formula originally present -or- Numbers was unable to open the CWSS spreadsheet due to size limitations. Neither problem occurs when the file is converted on the MBA by Appleworks into an Excel format. For those CWSS files that did not properly convert to Numbers, I would like to perform a conversion to Excel.
When a given spreadsheet is manually opened on the MBA with either version of Appleworks, one can “Save as” using several formats of Excel. That operation will preserve the formula which cannot be recognized in Numbers’09. An example of this issue is when a spreadsheet has a cell that contains a formula with the function “ISNUMBER”. When I manually open a CWSS in Appleworks (either 6.2 version), I can Save As Excel Win 97 … or Excel Mac 98 … creating an XLS file that preserves the formula.
I have attempted two techniques with Applescript to be able to convert my CWSS documents into XLS format. Neither seem to work.
The first technique is very similar to a few lines extracted from a canned script found on http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=8296 the relevant code is:
set theSprTranslator to "Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
tell application "System Events" to set mfpath to get path of disk item ("~/desktop/" as string)
set newfile to (mfpath & "AWV6" as string)
set NewFilename to AWV6XLS
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
    activate
    open newFile -- alias reference is ok
    save using translator theSprTranslator with NewFilename and replace
    close front document without saving
end tell
When this did not work, I attempted a scripted GUI solution as a second option. The GUI code I had found at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17348326/applescript-to-save-an-appleworks-do cument-wont-compile-end-tell-vs-end-easy is:
tell application "System Events"
         tell process "AppleWorks"
                 click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
                 click menu button "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
                 click menu item "Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet" of menu 1 of menu button "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
                 keystroke return
         end tell
end tell
Unfortunately there is no “File Format” menu button, after a bit of further research, I discovered UI Browser and wrote my own Applescript equivalent:
set mytempwork1 to AWV6
set theSprTranslator to “Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr”
tell application "Finder" to open file (mytempwork1 as string) of the desktop
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "AppleWorks"
        click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
        tell text field 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
            set value to "XX" & mytempwork1
        end tell
        click pop up button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
        click menu item theSprTranslator
        —click radio button 2 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
        —delay 3
        —click radio button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
    end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "AppleWorks"
        delay 10 — <<<<<IF YOU CLICK ON THE BUTTON WHILE IN THIS DELAY, THE SCRIPT WILL BEHAVE PROPERLY
        click button "Save" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
        delay 1
    end tell
end tell
This GUI script behaves almost as I would like. It seems to ignore the setting of the “pop up button 1” unless I actually intervene while the script is running and I click on the button. When I do so, the script runs as intended.
Is there a way to force Appleworks to recognize the Applescripted value of the “clicked” menu item?

Hello
As far as I know, there's no need to resort to GUI scripting. The problem in exporting in AppleScript is that AppleWorks 6 only accepts typeChar (TEXT) data as translator name while AppleScript string has become always being represented as typeUnicodeText (utxt) since OS X 10.5. This makes passing translator name to save command difficult but there's a workaround method as shown in the sample code below. The |TEXT|() handler does the job. Tested with AppleWorks 6.2.4 under 10.6.8.
main()
on main()
    set export_translator to "Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Win 5 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
    set export_translator_TEXT to my |TEXT|(export_translator)
    set src to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "in.cwk"
    set dst to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "out.xls"
    set srca to src as POSIX file as alias
    set dsta to touch(dst) as POSIX file as alias
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
        --return export translators
        open srca
        tell document 1
            if document kind = spreadsheet document then
                save in dsta using translator export_translator_TEXT
            end if
            close saving no
        end tell
    end tell
end main
on touch(f)
    do shell script "touch " & f's quoted form
    return f
end touch
on |TEXT|(u)
        string u : source text
        return data : «data TEXT...» representing u converted to MACROMAN encoding
    do shell script "u=" & u's quoted form & "; printf '%s' \"$u\" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t MACROMAN | xxd -p"
    run (run script "
script
    «data TEXT" & result & "»
end script")
end |TEXT|
Hope this helps,

How do I convert from PAL to NTSC in compressor?

I have a project I converted from mp4 file to Apple Pro Res to edit it in FCP. I exported using Compressor and tried to import the files to DVD Studio Pro. It said it can't put PAL files into an NTSC project. I didn't even realize it was filmed in PAL (yes, I have the rights to use the footage). How do I convert the files from PAL to put it into FCP...in Compressor? If so, how? Thanks for any help!

To convert the 25fps PAL file to a 29.97fps file staying within the ProRes codec:
• Open up compressor. In the Settings window select: Apple>Formats>Quicktime>ProRes 422
• Select the "Duplicate Selected Setting" icon in the upper left of the Settings window
• This creates duplicate of the preset that you can edit
• Select the preset copy and, in Inspector, give it a new name (something like ProRes PAL>NTSC)
• In Encoder>Video Settings>Frame rate - and change the frame rate to 29.97
• In Frame Controls> turn them on and set Resize Filter and Rate Conversion to BETTER. (If so set them to BEST, be prepared for a long wait)
• In the Geometry tab, set the Frame Size to 720x480 (you don't say if the file is 16:9 or 4:3)
• Submit the file and go have dinner. Depending on the length of the file, it may take hours.
Have fun.

Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View Error

I have CR 2008 report with SP1. The report has a sub report. The main report is based off of a BV but the sub report is using an ODBC connection. When I try to update the ODBC connection I recieve an error message telling me that:
Quote:
"Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported."
I am do not want to update the BusinessView just the ODBC connection for the subreport.

Hi Michael,
When you try to update both the Business views and ODBC connection you will be prompted for those errors.
You need to break the link in the report and update the connections individually.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connectio

I have a report on our Crystal Reports Server that I need to move to a machine with Crystal Reports XI installed and no connection to the Business Objects Server.
When I create an ODBC connection pointing to the same table and then try to use Set Datasource Location to Update the Data Source I get an errormessage:
Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported.
What can I do? It is a complex report that I don't want to take the time and energy to rewrite.
Thank You for any answers.
