Creating HTML Document

We have a customer who gives us InDesign files which we print from, but they are also asking us to send the document in HTML so they can put it on their web site. At least I think that is what they are doing with it. Is there an easy way to do this from InDesign? I think exporting as HTML will jumble the document into pieces.

No. There's no easy way.
While you can export for Dreamweaver, to expect a fully formatted web page is going to leave you very disappointed.
If you're in NYC, I'll be doing a presentation, next Tuesday night at the InDesign User Group meeting on this very topic.

Creating HTML document in Mountain Lion

I am trying to convert completely over to Mountain Lion. One important issue remaining is being able to create an HTML file from a document. I used Appleworks a lot because it allowed me to save anything I created as an HTML page. How can I do something similar in Mountain Lion? Pages won't
allow me to do it. I heard old version of Pages would do it, but that won't help.
I suppose I can buy some editor or converter, but seems such a waste to pay for something that an old version of Appleworks would do so easily and
perfectly for free. There must be a simple solution to create HTML from a word ( not Word ) document.

Document types show up twice when creating a new blank HTML document.

I followed the below instructions for getting HTML 5 as a document type option on CS4. Although I do have HTML 5 as an option now, my other stock CS4 document type options now show up twice in the menu. Any idea how to fix this?
To add the HTML document type, however, you need to modify the file named MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml. Here’s how to do that:
1. Find the configuration folder then navigate to the documenttypes folder. The Configuration folder can be found under the folder where you installed Dreamweaver.
2. Find and make a backup copy of MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml (MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml.bak)
3. Open MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml in your favorite text editor. If anything goes wrong, you can always get back to the default state by replacing your changes with the backup copy.
4. Go to the end of the document and find the </documenttypedeclarations> tag and add the following lines just before the </documenttypedeclarations> tag:
<documenttypedeclaration id="mm_html_5">
<title>
HTML5
</title>
<doctypedecl>
<![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE HTML>]]>
</doctypedecl>
<rootelement>
<![CDATA[<html></html>]]>
</rootelement>
<dtdcontext>html</dtdcontext>
<dtdcontext>html5</dtdcontext>
<dtdcontext>frameset_frame</dtdcontext>
<dtdcontext>xslt</dtdcontext>
</documenttypedeclaration>
5. Save the document
6. Restart Dreamweaver
You should now have an HTML5 document type option when you create a new document.
There was an issue with Dreamweaver CS4 that needed to be fixed in code to fully support HTML5 documents which is why upgrading to CS5 was recommended. In CS4, Dreamweaver’s definition of a well formed HTML document has a meta content type which isn’t required for HTML5 documents so, no matter what we do to CS4, any HTML document created by CS4 will have the following:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Replace that line with this:
<meta charset=utf-8">
You’ll need to do this every time you create a new HTML5 document.
Once you finish go to Preferences New Document and select HTML5 as default Doc Type...
Thanks to:
What I did was create a snippit of the meta and added it to my snippit's meta folder

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,
I have done a test and I can reproduced your issue.
I referred to the blog about Automatically create Word documents which include list fields:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/brenclarke/archive/2009/04/15/automatically-create-word-documents-which-include-list-fields.aspx
When I create a multiple line of text column in a list, I just choose Plain text, Then I solved the issue:
Besides, here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

Create HTML in Document Maintenance (SE61)

Hi there,
I am having difficulty trying to create URL link in my document using SE61. If i type "http://.....", it will display as hypertext url link in my document. But if i have a long url, the hypertext will not be correctly displayed, as the text will be broken up.
Anyone knows how to create a url link or create HTML tags using SE61 (Document Maintenance)? Thx
Zul

Hi Mohamed,
I think your question is not ITS related and the chances to get an answer in this forum are not high.
I don't know the answer to your question and would suggest that you consult the BC-Documentation in Knowledge Warehouse. If you want I can move this thread to another forum.

Creating a new HTML document - removing "todos"

When creating a new HTML document in a KM repository (i.e. Folder > New > HTML File...), I get a form where I name my HTML document and enter the content etc. I can also choose, from a dropdown box, the document type between a Normal document or a "todos". My questions are the following:
1) What is "todos" in this case? (I don't think it means "To Do's".)
2) As a portal admin, how can I remove "todos" from the dropdown box or disable the dropdown box completely.
Thank you

Hi Mick,
sorry, quite late, but better than never
> how can I remove "todos" from the dropdown box or
> disable the dropdown box completely.
System Administration - System Configuration - KM - Configuration - CM - Global Services - Resource Types - Delete "todos".
> What is "todos" in this case?
> (I don't think it means "To Do's".)
I think that in fact some SAP developer wanted to mark this place that there would be more work to be done (Resource Types to be defined or so).
Hope it helps

How to get Safari to open an HTML document created in AIR on iOS

We have an iOS app that creates a 3-page HTML document on the user's device and then prints it. We were using Darkredz ANE to do this, but the ANE is broken in iOS 8 and the Darkredz website is abandoned.
As a workaround, we want to use Safari to launch the HTML document, then print from Safari. But Safari won't open a local document that belongs to another app, probably because of the security sandbox. We don't have a network connection, so we can't save the file remotely. Is there a way to get Safari to open a local document?
If not, does anyone know of a FileManager app that can open files that are located in the "documents" folder of other apps on the device? I've tried several of them, but so far, they only load files from iCloud, Box, etc.
Thanks for any tips.

Sorry I didnt think about it needing to print as 3 separate pages at specific points. If you can't get the HTML printing to work then you could keep could this thought in mind. If the height of the, I presume, HTMLLoader object is the right value, you can draw the white-space of the page into the BitmapData and then it might still print at the right location. If it doesn't work immediately and you felt like putting in a little more effort, you might be able to tweak the height of the HTMLLoader objects so that each one represents a single page. Granted this approach would likely only work for one paper size format, such as 8.5x11. Sorry I don't have any easier ideas that work with what you already have done so far

Why is my flash content not working on my dreamweaver created html site?

This is a problem that's happening on my website I'm creating. I created a quick test website to show you the problem on the fourm. It's the same problem, and if you can provide the solution to this test website I can apply it to my main website.
Test website on server:
test331754952.net23.net
What I did:
-launched flash
-typed "test" and made it spin 360 degrees
-published swf
-launched dreamweaver
-created a site
-moved swf to site folder
-saved a html file to the site folder
-in dreamweaver, went to insert, media, swf, then selected the swf I made
-it inserted the swf, creating a gray placeholder for it
-re-saved the html document, at which point dreamweaver created a folder named script and 2 files, an swf, and a javascript file
Site Directory:
Scripts Sub-Directory:
What happens:
-when I launch the swf on my machine, it plays fine
-when I open the swf directly on the test website on the server, it plays fine
-when I open the html with the embended swf on the test website on the server, it shows a gray box, then goes white
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in browser and choose internet explorer, it tells me I don't have new flashplayer(I do: flashplayer 11)
Ie also pokes up a box at the bottom that says its not allowing content. When I click allow content, it creates a gray box
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in borwser and choose google chrome, it tells me flash player has stopped a potentionally unsafe operation. When I close this dialog box, it gives me a gray box where my swf should be embeded.
-I've tried changing global flash secuirty setting and it does nothing
-I've tried visiting the test website on multiple computers in my household to no avail
-I've tried having friends visit the site on their computer at their house to no avail
-I did't touch the code on this test website-the code is exactly what dreamweaver generated

Can someone please help! I've looked and tried prety much everything. If you can provide a solution I would GREATLY apreciate it!

There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).
Best wishes,

Preview of HTML document in KM Navigation iView

Hi all!
I need your help. I would like to create layout set which would be able to display tree on the left side and preview of HTML document on the right side of content area. If I click on HTML document in the tree I need to see his preview. I thought that I can resolve this by "Explorer and Preview" profile. But unfortunely it doesn't work. Has someone any experience with the profile? Or can someone advice to me how create new layout set?
I found this links, but they didn't help me much.

Hi Saurabh,
Using the presentation settings in Details can sometimes
be tricky since it remembers the context of which iView
called it. Make sure you open the details out of the iView
in which you want the customizations to be in effect.
Otherwise, changing it in the configuration is a
bit more straightforward in its effects.

Print html document from presentation server with no intervention of user

Hello,
I have been able to create HTML output for my smartform.
They are saved on my machine.
I need to print these HTML outputs as a part of process without intervention of the user.
Is it possible?
I have tried method 'EXECWB' of 'cl_gui_html_viewer', but that gets fired only on some action and shows the Print dialog for the selection of printer.
It would be great if anyone can help me with us.
Thanks
Mona

PDL -- thank you for your reply.
What you gave me did spawn the print dialog allowing me to select a printer. However, when the document printed, the number of pages in the document was correct but the pages were empty except for the page x of y along the top and the name of the document along the bottom. Have you seen this before and do you know how to correct? Also, how do you suppress the info across the top and bottom of the report from printing?
Thanks

Print html document

Hi, I'm trying to print a html document with this following java code but doesn't works:
public void onActionPrintEncuestaPDF(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionPrintEncuestaPDF(ServerEvent)
     try{
          Robot robot = new Robot();
          // Ctrl+P
          robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL );
          robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_P );
          robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
          robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_P );
          Thread.sleep(500);
          //Alt+U
          robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT );
          robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_U );
          robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT );
          robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_U );
          Thread.sleep(500);
          //entrée
          robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
          robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER );
          Thread.sleep(500);
     catch(Exception e){ }
    //@@end
This is not working because java.awt.Robot is a part of AWT package and intended for the client site, how I can make an action that when the
client push the print button. Print the html document automatly.

Gabriel

Safari won't open webarchives or html documents stored on computer

I occasionally save a webpage to my computer as a .webarchive for later usage, but anytime I try to open them safari takes me to a completely different page. It brings me to my Top Sites page that shows all of my most frequently visited pages. I don't understand why safari would do this since the way the document is created is by saving the page directly in safari (command + S). I noticed the problem initially when Safari wouldn't open an html document that I had created and stored on my computer. I used the page as my homepage because it had links to all of my most frequent websites and because I liked having my own creation as my home page (that doesn’t really matter, though) and then out of nowhere when I opened safari my homepage had been changed to Yahoo (my default engine) and the html document wouldn’t open at all. I thought that maybe the problem was due to a recent update because I noticed that two new tabs were added to the toolbar (ebay and amazon), but I don’t understand why an update would make it so that .webarchive files, created by safari, wont open. I checked my safari version, it is 7.0.3, and if it helps, the html documents that won't open were made with Adobe Dreamweaver. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what is happening because I do need to be able to open the .webarchive files I have saved in the past. Thank you.

Carolyn, I've told you repeatedly, that site's instructions are crap. They absolutely do not fully remove the Genieo adware. In fact, the uninstaller that site refers you to will actually install components of the adware that were not already present! For the same reason, it makes no sense to rely on Genieo's instructions. I am completely mystified as to why you continue to post these suggestions.
To properly remove Genieo, see:

Creation of fillable forms from existing HTML documents

Hi All,
I know this is doable, but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction or perhaps to an existing HowTo.
I recently started working for a company in which part of my job duties includes the creation of new users and deauthinication of terminated user accounts. The company uses specific forms for accomplishing this that are filled out from templates in Outlook 2010, i.e. New Items-->More Items-->Choose Forms. This provides the users with a list of forms. By clicking on one of these forms it opens an e-mail that the requester populates.
The issue we are having with this is that sometimes they use the form, and/or don't provide the right information. They will modify the form and delete certain row or columns etc. They also have a tendency to not provide all the mandatory information.
I can take these forms and save them as HTML document from Outlook. What I would like to do is create them as fillable PDF forms with some fields as drop downs, other as mandatory and once they have completed the form correctly, (at least to the extent I can make it fool proof), then they can click on a button that will allow them to e-mail the completed form to the desired recipient admin group via outlook.
The current method is the requester fills out the form then e-mails it to say their manager, who then types approved and sends it back, the requester then sends it to the next person until all the needed "approves" are received then it gets forwarded to a group who is basically the clearinghouse for all access requests who then send it to the appropriate systems admin group emails for completion. Once complete the admins do a reply all with users created or deauthinicated etc for systems xxx and xxx as requested at the top of the e-mail.
I want to make this process more standardized to prevent users from not completing the form correctly or modifying the Outlook form to their own interpretation of how the form should be or leaving out mandatory information.
I would also like the form to automatically name itself with the employee number of the requestor with the date and time appended, i.e RM74651_10202014_0917 when they go to send it and place a copy of the completed form in a pre-specified network folder.
Any information, suggestions or HowTo would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gordon

Hi Surabh,
Use HTML codes in notepad. Use the notepad to upload the file and create mail form. You should follow W3C standard. Refer note 1131645.

Internal Links in HTML Document Not Working Correctly in PDF

I have an HTML document that contains internal links (basically a Table of Contents). When the document is displayed in a browser, the internal links work correctly. However, when I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create a PDF version from the HTML source, the links don't go to the correct place when clicked. It almost appears that they are off by one, e.g., link 7 goes to anchor 8. I can send the source document for you to look at if you email me at eharris -at- synnovation.com. I am not expert in HTML and perhaps the links/anchors are not done correctly when I create the HTML document. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

This one has the same problem. For instance, "Anchor1" as <a name="Anchor1"> appears 13 times. I am sure that your problem is that Acrobat is going to the last occurance that is just before the first one. As I scan through the file I find similar results for all of the anchors. When I used Tidy, it reduces about 1350 errors to about 474, but that is still not too good. The validator is flagging a lot of identical IDs as well as unrecognized attributes (like ONSELECTSTART). The attributes correctly accepted by body are
Attribute Specifications
* BACKGROUND=URI (background image for document)
* BGCOLOR=Color (background color for document)
* TEXT=Color (text color for document)
* LINK=Color (link color for document)
* VLINK=Color (visited link color for document)
* ALINK=Color (active link color for document)
* ONLOAD=Script (document has been loaded)
* ONUNLOAD=Script (document has been exited)
as listed on htmlhelp.com for HTML 4. There may be some new ones in HTML 5, but I did not check.
I am not looking at all of your HTML in detail, but there appears to be a lot of unneeded things based on the error messages from the validator. Many browsers will let you display the stuff (even Acrobat), but there may be errors that crop in when you do not expect it or on some other browsers that the one you check. Thus again, you should use a validator. If you are only off a few tags that might be fine, but when it is in the 1000s, there is an issue. It would also be good to break your page up into parts. It is good practice on web pages for each page to be not much more than one screen. That is often exceeded, but 59 screens of info (on my screen) is a bit much. The TOC is definitely needed in that case, but just was well go to a sub page just as well and make the info easier to track. A PDF (as you are trying to get) could be made of the entire system for those that want it all in one bit. Bill

SharePoint Online - Generate or create PDF documents with content

Hi,
We are in the process of evaluating SharePoint Online for a project that requires to create PDF documents. These documents are kind of reports that can be generated in the system. In case of on-premise we would have created a custom farm solution probably
using some PDF creation DLL to create the document.
However, wanted to know what are the options in SPOnline? The word automation service might not help because in that case we will need to generate a word document first and then convert it to PDF. Also, creation of this word document would again be a question
to answer.
Any suggestion/thoughts?

There is no create a PDF option in SharePoint. (not in on-prem and not in online)
You can print to PDF in most of the Operating systems and/or browsers by default.
And you can of course create a document and save that to PDF (or export to PDF or Print to PDF)
The Word Automation service..... is for Word... as you mention you dont't want to use word.... so that is not an option.
In general ... WHY?
If it is for Locking down the posibilities for a end user who sees the document you can also implement IRM (based on AADRM or just in Word itself)
If it is for publishing... you also need a "source document" and that can be Word.
So without the whole story it is difficult to advice.... In general if you want to create PDF document and edit it right from PDF and also don't want to use the Office suite, maybe a solution of Adobe like: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html
