Creating RTF file

Hi all,
We are trying to send a RTF file (with images) in the response. For this, first a RTF file has to be generated at server and then written to the response. How can we write a file in RTF format (with images)?
Can anybody throw some light please?
Regards,
Mohan

Got problems with creating RTF-files after OSX update

Hi
I don't know if this is really a MAC OS problem, but it occurred after I updated to 10.5.2 - so it's a likely suspect.
Since the update I can't create RTF-files any more with Final Draft, my script writing program. A file is created, but when I try to open it I get an error message that it cannot be found. But the file is there: I can see it and click on it. It just won't open.
Only today now I got the same error message with a doc-file I downloaded some months ago.
The only big change I lately made to my Mac was the update to 10.5.2 and I got the new Office 2008 (both are the German versions). Could the problem come from either of them? I contacted Final Draft's support - they didn't know of the problem.
Maybe someone else in this forum has encountered similar problems?

Have you tried to Repair Permissions using Disk Utility?
1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
3. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
4. Click the repair permissions button.
This is the first thing to try whenever any program goes wonky. It's free, but takes awhile for all the files that have to be checked and changed.

Xml publisher enterprise!!! create rtf file dynamically with load xml data

i am new to xml publisher enterprise , i want a solution for this question ...
i want create rtf file dynamically with loading xml data....means i wrote a program in jsp where the the output in xml file simultaneously create rtf file..but i enable load the xml data in rtf file but when i goto rtf file from where data in that load xml then it genrate the columns..but i want in dynamiclly to load the data will you please guide me ......

Hi Atiq
Im not quite clear on the requirement here:
1. Do you just want to be able to extract the data and apply a template to the XML data from your jdp and render output?
If so then you can use the XMLP APIs ... the are in the user guide. Particularly:
RTFProcessor - converts RTF template to XSLFO stylesheet
FOProcessor - takes, XML data, XSLFO stylesheet and output format and generates the required output.
2. Do you want a template that will accept any data and just format it into rows and columns ? This can be written but your XML structure is going to have to be static, the data of course can be dynamic.

Create rtf file, open in textedit

i am very new to applescript, if anyone would have mercy, please respond.
i am trying to create a script that will create a rich text file named by the date (in format of YY.MM.DD for purposes of sorting alphabetically) and open this file for edit in textedit. Preferably, I would like to be able to create a file named by date followed by a short description (for example, activate script - it asks for a summary and then creates a file named by date followed by a summary (for example "07.12.28 - this is an example") and opens that file in textedit.app for editing).
i worked a lot with iptscrae but it's been a long time...and was nothing like this.
edit: please note, i've had trouble with spaces in scripts when it deals with file names (date - summary)

This is your script after I altered it a bit (and as you'll see it's for the purposes of journaling)
I'm not sure exactly why I moved the current date and return instructions back to the bottom here but that's what I had to do to get it to work. I'm a trial and error learner more than anything else, I'm going to read up on this a bit but it's working like a charm.
I guess it was because I set TheText variable back up for the RTF formatting and couldn't figure out how to incorporate the date there.
edit: the formatting on this post is a bit messed up.. your rtf formatting stuff is moved from location in first script to accommodate the second script but nothing else is different about it. shrugs

Applescript - Create RTF File in Last Selected Finder Folder

QUERY: As a fit-for-purpose Applescript user, I try to customize posted scripts (thanks to sharers who do the heavy lifting) to suit my needs. Someone posted a great Applescript for creating an RTF file, but I want one modification: rather than having to declare/designate a folder in which to place the new RTF, I want it to create the new file in the active Finder file. Interestingly enough, I also have an Appscript which, in fact, will create a TXT file (not RTF) in the active Finder file. How to take the desirable bit from the latter and working it into the former, I cannot figure. (More times than not, I can successfully blend scripts, but not so this time. I have hit something that requires expert help.)
REFERENCE MATERIAL: First, the current Applescript for creating an RTF. Then, for reference, the Applescript for creating the TXT.
Kind regards,

Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

Hello guys
I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
The steps I am following is:
1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
That's all I can understand.
My question is:
1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
Thanks

If you have a BI Publisher desktop installed, have a look a the demos,.. should answer most of your basic questions.

I can't open rtf files created using the 'touch' command in Terminal

I don't know much about CLI but I like to play with my tech. When I create an RTF file using
touch foo.rtf
it creates the file but when I try and open it, it just says "The document “foo.rtf” could not be opened."
What's the deal?

Answered Here on StackOverflow:
As you've likely discovered, touching a nonexistent file will create a zero-byte file with the name you specify. (touch is also used to update the modification time on an existing file. Seeman touch for further details.)
The problem you're running into is that though a completely empty file is valid HTML, text, or Markdown, it is not valid RTF—this is true of many file formats, actually, which are structured in a particular way and require some data to be present be valid.
Based on my experimentation, the bare minimum RTF file appears to be
{\rtf1}
If you'd like to create a blank RTF file from the shell, try this:
echo '{\rtf1}' >Foo.rtf
Note the above will overwrite Foo.rtf if it exists.
Thank you user Zigg

RH 7 creates impossibly large RTF file

I'm trying out RH 7 on XP, using Word 2003. It works fine for
small files. When I try to import a large (27 MB) Word file with
many graphics, RH creates an RTF file that is 2.1 GB. I don't have
the time to wait to see if Word can save it. Is there a workaround
for this?

Here's a more detailed description of what I see; perhaps it
will evoke some response.
1. In RoboHelp for Word, I import a large Word document,
saving it in the project directory.
2. I am asked whether I also want to save the document
template. I do.
3. Graphics are converted.
4. The "Converting style to topic" message appears repeatedly
until Word runs out of memory. I am warned that no "undo" will be
possible; I answer "Yes" to proceed anyway.
5. The conversion apparently proceeds. But a check of CPU
usage says there’s nothing happening. I must cancel both Word
and RoboHelp.
Left behind is the .doc file (which was a huge 27 MB) and the
.rtf file RoboHelp created (which is 77 times bigger still).

Creating .RTF output files - PI7.0 Receiver file adapter

Hi Experts,
I am currently facing an issue with the Receiver File adapter where in the output files are required to be of the format of .RTF (Rich Text Format).
The scenarios is an outbound proxy from SAP ABAP - > PI 7.0 -> .RTF File
All the data required to be present in the file will be coming in the source structure
Can the File Receiver Adapter handle this ?
Is there a way to generate Files with extension .rtf ??
It is a requriement since the output files will be used as Reports , and so the desired format.
I am unsure if I will have to use XSLT mapping , in this because i am new to that , Kindly let me know how to go about it ,. any links or pointers on how to achieve the same will be welcome.
thanks
Dev
Edited by: sd on Feb 17, 2010 8:23 AM

Thanks for your reponse Praveen
Can you please let me know how can i put the extension as .rtf for the output files i am generating ??
as far as the formatting is concerned ... it is like ... the header needs to be of a particular Font , a particular font size , bold etc and so is the case for line items
I am unsure if it is possible using an Adapter module as well
thanks
Dev

Unable to combine microcsoft word or rtf files when creating a .pdf

We cannot add microsoft word or .rtf files when trying to combine them into a single .pdf file..
When you click on Add files..the word or .rtf files are greyed out and you
cannot select them..
We are using Mountain Lion OS (ltatest version) and adobe acrobat version 10.1.5

Before Acrobat XI, it was only possible in Windows, not on a Macintosh.
http://indesignsecrets.com/new-acrobat-xi-and-reader-xi-can-change-workflows.php
"In previous versions of Acrobat, Mac users were stymied when you wanted to open a Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file into Acrobat to convert it to PDF, or to include these files when combining documents together. Now, if you have Microsoft Office installed on your Mac, you can include these files. (There are still no PDF Maker plug-ins installed on the Mac, and hyperlink and bookmark export from Word is not yet supported.)"

Hi,
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'm trying to create an RTF file from data in a database, so I have no need to use JTextPanel or any GUI components. I've been trying to use the RTFEditorkit with a DefaultStyledDocument, but can only manage to insert one line into the document(!) Does anyone have any suggestions or examples that would explain how to do this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Import template defined in rtf file to another rtf file in BI Publisher

I have two RTF files:
(1) summary.RTF
(2) detail.RTF
detail.RTF has template named “subreport” with following syntax:
<?template:subreport?>
<?end subreport?>
I am importing and calling this template in summary.RTF.
<?import:file:///C:/Hitesh/Work/detail.rtf?>
& <?call-template:subreport?>
The report is working fine with template builder (like in Word “Load XML” and then preview and two RTF files are at my local machine).
Now,
I have created one report in BI Publisher(10.1.3.2) named “Summary” in folder named “Test” to deploy my report.
I have uploaded these two RTF to BI Publisher with name (1) summary & (2) detail.
But it’s not showing the report because of invalid import syntax.
I have tried following syntaxes for import,
<?import:http://bipapp:7777/xmlpserver/~development/Test/Summary/Summary.xdo?_xt=Detail?>
<?import:xdo:Detail.rtf?>
<?import:http://bipapp:7777/xmlpserver/~development/Test/Summary/Detail.RTF?>
But it’s not working.
Clearly the problem is in the import syntax.
Can anyone please help me to correct the import syntax?

Hi Tim,
Below is the URL when I enter in browser, it is asking for download "Detail.rtf".
<?import:http://10.253.80.59:15101/xmlpserver/servlet/res?t=bin&f=/TestReport/StatementSummary/Detail.rtf?>
so, i have placed this URL in Summary.RTF.
Still it's giving error--> "Caused by: java.util.EmptyStackException"
If I remove the import and call to "subreport" template, then summary is displaying wihout detail part. Further if I run Detail.RTF then it is also running individually.
Now, I am thinking that the problem is with "?" (question mark symbol) in URL, so, I have tried another like below:
<xsl:import href="http://10.253.80.59:15101/xmlpserver/TestReport/StatementSummary/StatementSummary.xdo?_xt=Detail"/>
Here the url:
http://10.253.80.59:15101/xmlpserver/TestReport/StatementSummary/StatementSummary.xdo?_xt=Detail
If i execute this url in browser then it is rendering the Detail.rtf.
This is also not working, it's giving following exception:
"Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XMLParseException: End tag does not match start tag 'SCRIPT'."
Thank you,
Hitesh

Could not overwrite rtf file on report template in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I want to upload the rtf file for Bi publisher report. There is already an rtf file and I have edited the file and want to overwrite it . It shows that the only way is to delete the template and again
create the template by uploading the rtf file. I tried to overwrite the existing template with edited rtf but it shows the error. Is there any other options rather than deleting the template and uploading again for edited rtf file.
Thanks,
Virat

Hi,
it seems, sometimes everyone would like to draw a vertical reference line at the data date of a line chart, so I would like to bring this thread up again.
I assume, that there is no vertical reference line on line, bar or area charts, because of the following reason: The vertical reference line is made for X1Axis; that's why it's called X1ReferenceLine. Line, bar and area charts don't have any X1Axis, but a O1Axis (ordinal axis):
from Graph.dtd: "

<!ELEMENT O1Axis EMPTY >

<!ELEMENT X1Axis (ViewFormat?) >
There is no such thing as <!ELEMENT O1ReferenceLine EMPTY > in Graph.dtd.
Is there any other solution, why it seems not to be possible, to draw a vertical reference line on line charts?
Kind regards,
Tobias
ps: Regarding the difference between X-Axis and ordinal axis, I take the explanation from http://goorman.free.fr/ZedGraph/zedgraph.org/wiki/index1240.html?title=What_does_%27Ordinal%27_mean%3F .

How to include preset in RTF import option while importing RTF files?

Dear all,
I created a script which will place text from rtf files present in a folder to an active document on different page based on match. I am using a preset name "myRTF" which i will use when i import rtf files without script.
Is there a way to include this preset in script?
I have checked many places....... but did not found.
#target Indesign
var myDoc = app.documents.item(0);
var sourceFolder = Folder("/Users/admin4/Desktop/ec_txt");
myFiles = sourceFolder.getFiles("*.rtf");
var myFrame1 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(111076); // switerland
var myFrame2 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(111114); // eurozone
var myFrame3 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(111146); // germany
for (var i=0; i < myFiles.length; i++)
    switch (myFiles[i].name.slice (6, myFiles[i].name.lastIndexOf("_")))
        case "Switzerland_en":
        myFrame1.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(File (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles[i].name))
        break;
        case "Eurozone_en":
        myFrame2.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(File (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles[i].name))

Hi Dave, Peter,
thanks for your reply. In that case i will check WordRTFImportPreference but not sure if customize style import can be done for paragraph style sheets.
for example: word has "normal" and "head1" style but i want to map to indesign Body_light and H1 styles respectively.
