Different file foramts

Hi
Different file formats that are accepted by BDC's are as following.
DAT, TXT, CSV, ASC, XLS. Could you please tell me format wise differences between these files ?? I believe all of them except XLS are made through notepad itself. Suppose if I have four fields and 4 records then how can we tell particular file is DAT and the other one is CSV file ??
Any help in this regard is higly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Ravindra

CSV - Comma Seperated
ASC - ASCII text
DAT - data file
TXT - Text
Have a look at below link.

Is there a way to save a form, once filled out, as a different file type in Reader?

I have Acrobat, my coworkers only have Reader. Company won't purchase Acrobat for the other employees.
I built a form for my coworkers to fill out. We need them to be able to send the filled out form to clients, but we don't want the clients to be able to edit the forms.
I understand people with only Reader can't flatten the document, or add a password, or save it as non editable. As I understand it, even with Acrobat I can't assign a password for Reader users to be able to edit or not edit a file (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on that one).
Is there any way to save the PDF form once it's been filled out (in Reader) as a different file type? Even an image? The file we send to clients doesn't have to be a PDF. Just something that most people can open.
I tried inserting the PDF into a word document (unreadably pixelated) and tried taking a snapshot of the entire page (resolution too low). I've tried downloading one of the free PDF writers and it apparently won't work with our network security (or something along those lines). I've tried using the pdf writer for Firefox on the form once it was filled out, and that won't work either because our network firewall seems to be blocking it and that's not something they are willing to take down.
Any advice?

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

Whenever I try to save a file as a PDF, it tells me it can't save because the file is open somewhere else. This is not the case and I have tried it with different files. Please help. You can also call me at:(301)651-9616

Whenever I try to save a file as a PDF, it tells me that it can't save, because the file is open somewhere else. I don't have anything else open. I have also tried different files and they all say the same thing. Help.

Given there are so many problems and removed features in Pages 5, why not just continue using Pages '09?

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty

Can two users work on different files of the same project?

Sorry if this has been asked already...but can two users work
on different files of the same project? How would that work? Would
it work something like this?
1. From RoboHelp 7, user A checks out the entire project.
2. User A checks in the files they are not working with.
3. User B checks out the project but can only 'edit' the
files that have been checked in by user A.
Is this how the source control works?

That's the basic idea. User A doesn't actually have to check
out the whole project, though. RSC will selectively check out only
the files that are actually getting changed. Both writers will have
a complete copy of the project on their local machines, but the
files are read-only until they are literally checked out, which is
on an as-needed basis unless the writer explicitly checks them out.

How to collect to different files into one message

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
Two (5Mb) Files with different file structures each ->
XI (transform and generate a single structure record) ->
Insert a record in a DB for each new record generated
Let suppose file1 has order headers - one order per line -and file2 has the corresponding order items - one item per line, e.g;
File 1
OrderNr Description
1        A
2        B
3        C
File 2
OrderNr   ItemNr   MaterialCode ....
1         1        111
1         2        222
1         3        555
2         1        888
2         2        777
3         1        111
Imagine I want to insert a record in the database for
each order/item like this
OrderNr ItemNr Description MaterialCode .....
1        1      A           111
1        2      A           222
1        3      A           555
My real scenario is a little more complicated but never mind for now.
I need to collect the two different files with two different file structures into the same message. Although I have read about the subject I am not sure about how to do it using BPM because there isn't any field I could use to correlate file1 with file2 - I can only correlate a record of file1 with several records of file2. I simply know that the two files will be available in a specific directory once a day at 06:00AM.
First question is:
How can I collect the two messages originating each from a different file into only one message with two different subtypes one for each file structure?
Because my background is ABAP I could do it with a workaround for temporarily storing the info from each file into database tables in XI and then correlate the info from the two files to generate a single message.
Like this
File1 -> XI -> INSERT DATA XI ZDB1 (via ABAP Proxy or RFC)
File2 -> XI -> INSERT DATA XI ZDB2 (via ABAP Proxy or RFC)
Them I could use an event to check when the two tables have all the data from both files. I could then combine the data from the two tables and start another integration process like this
XI SERVER (ABAP Proxy) -> XI Integration Server -> Third-party (JDBC)
But this way I would have to code the hole data conversion which is not a good idea from the perspective of XI (EAI/Broker).
Maybe I sould use BPM. But how?
Futhermore:
Is BPM performant enough (we are talking about files with thousand of records)?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
for N:1 Multimapping you have to use BPM.
After going through this weblog you will be quite familiar with how to collect 2 messages into one message.
/people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/07/27/idocs-multiple-types-collection-in-bpm
Steps:
1. Create a abstract/ inbound / outbound interfaces. (in your case 3 /1/2).
2. Perform 2:1 Multimapping.
You can specify more than one message in either side.
Just go to message tab in MM.
3. Now follow the blog and you will get a output in the form of abstract interface.
4. Define JDBC reciever Channel as usual.
Your database will be updated.
Just try this out.

2 different files in the same location?

When we upload files they go all in one folder.
The first editor calls his graphic "Picture 1.png" (wonder where that came from..)
Sure sometimes before the item gets deleted another one will upload an completly different picture with the same filename.
The thing that it different between the 2 would be the Asset ID. So I was wondering if there is a way to make folders with asset IDs in the location where everybody uploads there stuff to.
To tidy up on the long run I guess we just would need to delete the empty folders (as the content has been archived).
How would I do this? How do other people deal with the same filenames for different files? It even happens within the same production so the solution to create an subfolder for each production (read this a while ago) does not work for us.
I know that for future projects we will tell people to use more describing filenames (but even there: there might be two different kitchens called the same..) but I also talk about a huge, messy archive to migrate..
thanks

Let me rephrase things a bit as I used the term Excel chart to literally. We create charts in SSRS. We then use a query string that includes "rs:command=render&rs:format=Excel" to get the chart into Excel. The "chart" in Excel is really just an
image and the associated data table is the cells filled in with the data. We then "select" the area that encompasses all of these objects and paste that into the PowerPoint slide.
Our source folder structure is as follows (note that I while I am being generic, the Ecel file names are the same between folders:
Folder A: File1.xls, File2.xls, File3.xls ..... File40.xls
Folder B: File1.xls, File2.xls, File3.xls .....File40.xls
This goes on for 8 folders but can be as many as 30
The routine we use to create the xls file from the SSRS chart names the xls file and puts it in the correct folder.
The idea was we would create a template chart set in PPT for folder A and then create copies of the PPT and change the links to point to Folder B, etc.
We have ensured that all Excel Documents are closed when we try to do an update.
We are also getting the following error and I'm paraphrasing: Cannot open multiple instances of a file of the same name even if it is in a different location. This occurs when doing an update links when we don't get the initial error message I listed first.
If we change the names of the files in each folder: i.e. FolderAFile1.xls, FolderAFile2.xls, etc then we can do the update links. This is time consuming as the SSRS exports are done by the end users and we are the developers trying to create a reusable solution.
One other issue we are seeing which I hope you can address is that when we are getting the update links to work, the process opens up each Excel file THREE times. It takes almost 15 minutes to update a PPT with 18 linked xls files.

How to create links to different files on the same page?

Good day to all again,
can someone please guide me through creating several links to different files on the same page. In other words, I am creating a photo page where my links are called Gallery 1, Gallery 2, etc... I would like to create links so when the User clicks on Gallery 1, they see Gallery 1 slide show in the frame; when the user then clicks Gallery 2, then they see Gallery 2 slide show in the window.
My slide show files are done and I am using GoLive CS2. I have no knowledge of JavaScript or ActionScript/Flash.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you
Alek

Hi Diana,
I'm a professional photographer and in the process of getting
my finished site published. I used Coffeecup Photo Gallery. You can
create multiple albums on the same page. Do a Google search for the
address. It's easy, inexpensive, and it works. I tried to do this
with the Photo Gallery in DW and FireWorks--but couldn't get it
right. CC uses Flash and Javascript.
Good Luck

How to mass-reindex files with same name but different file extensions

(reposting cos I'm confused about if I posted in the proper place before. Please delete if it is a repost.)
So I'm on a remote workflow. I pick all the raw data and convert it in two quality standards, one on 'high' with full specifications and one on 'low' so I can send 2gb instead of 80gb of files through the internet for me to work remotely on, and to speed up the overall work rhythm because files are lighter. All I need to do is to work at my home with the low quality files, send it back to the client's computer after finished, re-index all files in their high resolution twins and we are good to go to finish the product with highest quality possible. But both high and low quality files need to be the same extension, that I picked .mp4 for it is the standard for pretty much anything.
The point is, if I want to go full mobile, I only have an old HP Pavillion notebook and I really need to work with a video codec that goes very easy on it. I can only think about some 16:9 DV format. But the point is, this format generates a different file extension than my .mp4 standard, and Premiere, to my knowledge, really can't reindex files using only the file name while ignoring the file extension. It really should. And I really need to know how.
We also need to consider Premiere versions that allow themselves to be installed at x32 processors. My desktop is x64 and I really have no problem to work on these standards, the problem is, in my notebook I really can't.
So, halp?

i want to say it was added in cs7, which requires subscription, so in that case might as well be using latest version 8. if you had to use an older version like cs5, you could still use h264 or low bitrate dnxhd/prores codecs inside a quicktime .mov file. that would allow you to have same file ext on both versions of files.

Different files using variable substitution

Hi,
I've one scenario in which I'll be getting information like below
Cust_Data      1..1
VKORG          0..unbounded
     KUNNR      1..1
     NAME1      0..1
     LAND1      0..1
now I am supposed to create various files containing customer data containing kunnr, name1, land1 only for each of VKORG
I've tried using variable substittuion, in which i've given follwing information
File Name Scheme : Customer_for_%vkorg%.txt
Variable name                    Reference
vkorg                                  payload:Cust_Data,1,VKORG,1
but by providing this information, I am getting only one file having all the customer records.
So My question is:
1. How do I create different files for each of different VKORG
2. How do I place customer data only pertaining to that VKORG only.
Thanks,

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Hii Puneet K & nyc,
Thanks a lot for ur links guys... am already done ...will upload the working code shortly...and am facing some other problem now...when I execute the program in LV 11.0 version its working fine, but when I try to run the same code in LV10.0 (32 bit machine) its showing this error
"Error -2146827284 occurred at Exception occured in Microsoft Office Excel: Excel cannot insert the sheets into the destination workbook, because it contains fewer rows and columns than the source workbook.

This error code is undefined. Undefined errors might occur for a number of reasons. For example, no one has provided a description for the code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
Additionally, undefined error codes might occur because the error relates to a third-party object, such as the operating system or ActiveX. For these third-party errors, you might be able to obtain a description of the error by searching the Web for the error code (-2146827284) or for its hexadecimal representation (0x800A03EC)."

How to save a form in a different file name?

Hello All,
I have a form which has 7 pages. I have 3 buttons which are for submitting PDF,XML and print button. I do not want to keep SaveAs button.
What I need : When the user completes all the required fields and clicks on SubmitAsPDF or SubmitAsXML then it will prompt the user to save the form in a different file name. After the user has saved the form in a different file name then it should submit the form to the required mail ID. How to best accomplish it ?
Thanks.
Bibhu.

Hello Niall,
Thanks for the help. I used a hidden field whose name is "CurrentFileName" then in the docReady event of this hidden field I used the following script.
this.rawValue = event.target.documentFileName;
Then in the mouseUp event of the submit button I used the follwing script.
if(form1.Page1.CurrentFileName.rawValue == event.target.documentFileName)
app.alert("Please save this form in a different file name before submitting !");
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
But problem is : As the file is saved in a different name the script fires again and again if we click the submit button prompting the user to save the form in a different file name , but the user has already saved it in different file name .How to get rid of it ?
Thanks.
Bibhu.

Its an file to file scenario
suppose there are 5 rows in a file , then in target side i need to create 5 diff with each one record in it.
Can we do it without using 3 comm channels
Thanks&regards,

Hey,
As a more generic solution, can you try using MultiMapping. It is supposed to generate multiple instances of messages on receiver side.
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible
You just need to put a simple logic in Message Mapping to generate new Node for every occurence of source field.
Thanks

How to save settings in the front panel to different files and retrieve it later?

How to save the front-panel controllers' settings to different files and retrieve it later?
What I've archived is the "Save Settings" function, but when trying to "Reload Settings", I can only retrieve the saved data to front-panel indicators, but not the controllers!
Can anybody give me some advises?
Thanks in advanced!
Charles Lu

Hi
Just write the retrieved data to a local variable (but make it writable first) or property node of the controls.
Hope this helps.
