Creating and Saving File Links

Hi, been searching the forums and internet for my answer but can't seem to find the answer. I have a PDF that I am creating links to other PDFs on an FTP server. When users clicks on the link, the files automatically open in the reader. Since the files are pretty big, I would like the users to have the option to either save the file or open the file (that way they don't have to wait for the file to download before saving). Right clicking on the link does not give me the option to save the file. Is this a setting I need to use when creating the links to give the option to save or is there another keyboard command? Thanks for any assistance. I am using Acrobat Pro 8.1.3
JT

G'day JT,
When using Acrobat 8 Professional -
The right click context menu associated with an Acrobat web link contains:
--| Open Weblink in Browser
--| Append to Document
--| Open Weblink as a New Document
--| Copy Link Location
Adobe Reader does not provide this.
So, what is available will be a function of what the end-user has.
For either Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Edit > Preferences > select the Category "Internet"
In the Web Browser Options pane "Display PDF in browser" can be selected (default) or can be unticked.
Selected => A PDF in web space is displayed in the browser.
Unticked => A PDF in web space is downloaded and rendered by the PDF viewer identified to the OS.
But, this is a User controlled setting.
Looking about, you may come across "app.launchURL()".
To quote from a post by Thom Parker over at the Acrobat User Community,
"In Acrobat 7 the "app.launchURL()" function was added to the Acrobat JavaScript model.
This function has an input argument for forcing the web page to open in a new window.
If your users are on a later version it will work for them. Look it up in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference."
However, this would still open the target PDF - there'd be no "save target as..."
It might be that to have a "save target as..." option you may have to provide an HTML file with links to the PDFs.
Be well...

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:

Thanks in advance,

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore HELP

Hi, please help with my issue which is as follows:
A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore and sends a message saying that the file is not compatible.
What should I do, I have invested so much in that file and I dont think i will be able to do it all over again.

That's why people do incremental saves and use backups... You could try to open the file in an image viewer like IrfanView and see which parts are salvagable, but that's as good as it gets most likely...

HT202879 I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago. Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version. The app store shows the download. HUH?!?

I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.

Hi Prateek,
There is a blog on a similar topic which explains how to email purchase order in SAP to the vendor. The settings are required in Vendor Master, NACE and SCOT.
Following is the link to it.
http://architectsap.com/blog/sap/sap-mm-purchasing-send-purchase-order-by-mail-to-vendor-in-sap/
It has given steps to trigger the output.
Its not exactly what you require, but might be helpful.

From pages on a mbp running 10.9.1, pages 5.0.1 does not sync automatically to iCloud after a doc is created and saved. I have rebooted and reset all devices.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What exactly do you mean by 'it doesn't save'.
Does this mean it doesn't save at all, doesn't save to the iCloud folder or doesn't sync with other the devices or iCloud.com.

When saving documents in PDF format a .txt document is also created and saved

Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7

Hi, I ‘am a Graphic Designer and first time working in UAE Windows 7 is basically the only OS here. My PC is:
HP Elite 7000
Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 2.67GHz
4GB RAM
32-bit
Now to the problem, not that knowledgeable in IT stuff so here goes:
1. Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7. (You will actually see a “Not Responding” word coming out while opening and saving files, whether small or large files)
2. Locked layers occasionally are moved accidentally.(Working on multiple layers is normal so we need to lock it specially the once on top. But there are times I still manage to select locked layers)
3. After typing and locking the text, pressing “V” for the arrow key shortcut is still added to the text that is locked. (After typing I lock the text layer with my mouse and Press “V” to activate the arrow key… yes the arrow key is activated but the text is still typing the actual keyboard pressed)
I’ve only use the brand new PC and installer for a month now. Not sure if this is compatibility issues or something else I’m not aware of.
Thanks in advance to people that will reply.
Cheers!!!

Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.

CS3 crashes when Opening and saving files - also runs slow

Today, while using photoshop, it locked up on me & I had to force quit. It then wouldn't open a file either via Bridge or the open menu. I could create a new file, but it would hang while attempting to save.
I downloaded and ran the FixVCUIFramework, and it allowed me to open and save 1 file, before it started not saving or opening again. Running the Fix again has no effect.
I switched to another user account, and everything works fine - in fact PS runs much speedier in the 2nd user account than in my main account. I hadn't noticed how slow it had become in opening and saving.
Any ideas of where to look in trying to repair my main account? I don't want to have to migrate everything over to the 2nd account. Bridge in the 2nd account doesn't allow me to open all my folders, so I'd prefer not to work totally with a new user account.
PSCS3 10.0.1
Mac 2GHZ dual 4.5 gig ram
10 gig external scratch disk - PS running at 71%
Mac OS X.4.11
A day without Photoshop is like a day without sunshine ...
Thanks

A forced quit WILL create corruption.
An Archive and Install of the OS will give you a fresh system in your regular account while preserving your settings. Should take you less than 45 minutes.
But you may want to try deleting your Photoshop preferences and running the 10.4.11 update over your existing 10.4.11 system first. That may work too, and it would be faster.

Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

(Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:" in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
Thank you so much.
Dana

There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
Good luck!

How to prevent public users from creating and saving Word Documents

I have two public computers available for the public to view legal case documents. The program used uses the Word shell to save, view and print documents within the program. The clerk has stated that she does not want attorneys or others to
be able to create and save word documents on these computers. Is there a way to prevent a user on the public computers from opening word, creating a document and saving it?

Instead of installing Word on the public computer (or at least instead of making it available on the public account), you could install the free Word Viewer:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4 and make that available for the public account. Alternatively, if you want to ensure the document retains its originally
formatting regardless of what printer may or may not be attached to the public computer, you could keep only PDF copies of the file where the public can access them and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing:
https://get.adobe.com/reader/.

Master slides I created and saved as a theme won't work

I've created a set of Master Slides for Keynote and saved the file as a .kth file per the Help function in Keynote. However, whenever I try to use them (apply a theme to a slide) I get this message when I try to edit the slide: "The object you are trying to select can only be edited in the master slide." Apparently I've done something wrong.....but what?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Scripting Applescript Editor and saving files

I've created an Applescript that generates a smaller, simpler script. I've gotten everything to work, but when I tell Applescript Editor to save the file, it doesn't work. It doesn't error out, it acts like it finished properly, but nothing shows up in the location I told it to save. Here's the snippet that's giving me problems:
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
activate
make new document
set contents of document 1 to fnlScrpt
compile document 1
save document 1 in "Macintosh HD:" as "application"
close document 1 without saving
end tell
I'm going to define a more specific save location once I get it working, but for now it just saves to the top level. It needs to save as an application, and close the script without saving it. Any help is appreciated!

Hi all, I'm a little late to this thread in an attempt to get some scripts working in Lion.    Thanks for the help. I noticed the way you set your globals, and the way you're having variables get passed on to recompiled scripts.
I take a different approach, by writing my Applescript as text, in quotation marks, and then relying on fields getting filled in when the Applescript Editor is run, and the new script has the correct data.      I make one text entry called "QT_multiliner" and fill in variables using quotation marks and ampersands.
THIS FIRST SCRIPT is used to take variables given to it by a database, and generate a custom applescript for any given record in the database.
set yyyymmdd to (((year of (current date)) * 10000) + ((month of (current date)) * 100) + (day of (current date))) as text
set mmdd to (text items 5 through 8 of (yyyymmdd)) as text
set qtPath to "/path/to/folder/" & mmdd & "/"
set RenderPrefix to "filename_of_choice"
set TGA_path to "/path/to/folder_with_files/" & mmdd & "/" & RenderPrefix & "/" as text
set appletPath to "/path/to/folder/applet_name_" & RenderPrefix & ".app"
set temp_doc to POSIX file appletPath
--write the applet in Script Editor. Variables will be filled in and compiled in Script Editor.
set QT_multiliner to "tell application \"Finder\"
set thePath to \"" & TGA_path & "\" as string
activate
make new Finder window
set target of Finder window 1 to (POSIX file thePath)
set theSequence to get first file of the front window as alias
close window 1
end tell
set sequenceName to \"" & RenderPrefix & ".mov\"
tell application id \"com.apple.quicktimeplayer\"
          activate
          open image sequence theSequence frames per second 23.98
          set savePath to \"" & qtPath & "/\" & sequenceName
          tell movie 1
                         with timeout of 2400 seconds
                                        export to (POSIX file savePath) as QuickTime movie using settings alias \"path:to:settings:file\"
                         end timeout
                         close saving no
          end tell
          quit
end tell"
-- Write the script to its own applet
tell application id "com.apple.ScriptEditor2"
          set x to make new document
          set x to the front document
          set the text of document 1 to QT_multiliner
compile document 1
          save document 1 as "application" in (temp_doc)
quit
end tell
...now, when that is run, the following applescript is generated with all of the variables filled in.
--This applet was saved by the previous script, and is saved as /path/to/folder/applet_name_filename_of_choice.app
tell application "Finder"
          set thePath to "/path/to/folder_with_files/0112/filename_of_choice/" as string
activate
make new Finder window
          set target of Finder window 1 to (POSIX file thePath)
          set theSequence to get first file of the front window as alias
close window 1
end tell
set sequenceName to "filename_of_choice.mov"
tell application id "com.apple.quicktimeplayer"
activate
open image sequence theSequence frames per second 23.98
          set savePath to "/path/to/folder/0112//" & sequenceName
          tell document 1
                         with timeout of 2400 seconds
                                        export to (POSIX file savePath) as QuickTime movie using settings alias "path:to:settings:file"
                         end timeout
      close saving no
          end tell
quit
end tell
I really liked Camelot's "script / end script" function, it's better, but I just couldn't get it to pipe variables through from one script to another.     Since I need to run this script on any one of dozens of computers, I need the variables to be compiled and saved within each applet.
all the best,
Vic

Create and send file to front-end for download.

Hi,
In a nutshell I need to give users the possibility to download the contents of a table as a CSV file.
From what is understood, this would happen like this:
1)loop over the context node and write a file (table.csv) with the contents of each cell separated with a semi-colon. (or is there an API available to write the contents of an entire node/table)
2)send this file to the front-end so that a file download automatically begins and user can save it on the hard-disk.
Has someone done this before? If so, is it possible to share the code?
As usual, big points will be awarded.
Thanks!

Hi faB,
Refer "Exporting Context Data into Excel Using the Web Dynpro Binary Cache" by Bertram Ganz. This document will be very much helpful for you in exporting the context data into excel.

How to create and use file share in linux

Hi,
I just started trying out Azure, I have 2 linux ubuntu instances. I would like to create a File share to use as a type of NAS and mount it on both of the instances.
How can I go about doing that? Is there a tutorial?
thanks
Ricardo

Hi,
We can use Azure File services to do this, for more information, please have a look at this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx. The Azure File service exposes file shares using the standard SMB 2.1 protocol. Applications running in Azure can now easily share files between
VMs using standard and familiar file system APIs like ReadFile and WriteFile.
