Documents, pdf's, and any other file?

Is it possible to put Word documents, power points, pdfs or any other file into your webpage so that a preview of it pops up and it can be downloaded?
I added text and hyperlinked it to "a file" but it won't allow it saying that there is "no extension".
Is there a solution?

Select your "document" on your hard drive and ZIP it from Finder/File/Create Archive and then try linking to it. This will allow it to download when the link is clicked when viewed in the a browser.
You can place a "preview", in some form, on the web page and use this as the download link.
For example, you could type some "lead in" text into a shape and select the shape as the hyperlink.
Another way would be to put the preview and the download link on a page of its own and exclude this page from the navigation. When you create the hyperlink to this page you would select Link to "an external page", enter the URL for the page something like - http://web.mac.com/myname/mywebsite/documentpage.html
- and check the "open link in new window" box.
Then it will appear us a "popup" new window in the browser.

  • Data Recover From Formatted Drive? What is the best program to use to get back Logic Projects and any other file type?

    I was in the process of reorganising my hard drives so I could RAID them however I managed to corrupt one drive and had to format it which meant I lost all my Logic Files and some other files. I managed to save a lot of files (mainly video files) before I had to format the drive but I need a Data Recovery service that will not alter anything on the hard drive and will put all the formatted files (regardless of the type) back for me so I can get the rest of the ones I need.
    Thanks in advance.

    What about folders and such?
    No. FS doesn't reconstruct folders. However, Data Rescue does, depending on how you use it. About the only thing in Data Rescue a Quick Scan ever seems to show you are files that are already live.
    So that leaves you with a Deep Scan, or a Deleted Files scan. The first pass of a Deep Scan will attempt to retrieve folders and files, along with their original names. The second pass only looks for file patterns. Like recognizing a Photoshop .psd file. It will recover it, but give it a nonsense name. A Deleted Files scan only results in nonsense names of recognized file types; no folders.
    What were you using File Salvage on? A hard drive?
    Yes, though you can use it on a flash drive, or any other mounted drive.
    At the moment it is estimating 289 hours remaining on a 1TB drive. Can it not go faster?
    No, both of the software mentioned are slower than molasses in January. When you delete anything in Windows, its file table entry simply tagged as deleted. So to unerase them, the tag is removed. That's why it works to quickly and easily (assuming you haven't already overwritten the data to be recovered).
    In OS X though, the whole idea of the underlying UNIX structure is all about security. It's not supposed to be easy to retrieve deleted items. When you delete items, their file table entries are erased. So the only way to find deleted items is to scour the entire drive for BOF (Beginning Of File) markers that don't have a matching starting block to anything that is in the file table.
    Another question, half the drive was empty. Will it fly over that empty space or will it sieve through it incase there was some files stored on it?
    If you use the Expert mode is FS, you can choose to do that:

  • Printer not selectable from drop down when printing any pdf file. Printer is available when printing any other file format.

    Client is running Adobe Acrobat X. When trying to print their Ricoh printer can not be seen in the drop down menu. The Printer was added locally and the printer can print any other file format.

    Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
    Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
    On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

  • Problems emailing any other file format other than a .jpg

    I am having problems emailing any other file format other than a .jpg in mac Mail in Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have tried PDF, .tif and .doc documents, and they are small files, less than 150 kb. I have checked to ownership on the images and it says that I can read and write to them. I have also checked with my ISP and my mailbox capacity is 10 MB and was recently emptied. I am able to log into my ISP's webmail portal and send these types of attachments through there successfully, which has made me convinced that it has to do with Leopard or Mac Mail because I did not have these problems in Tiger.
    When I send a message like this, Mail says, "Sending" for a while, and then says "Cannot send message using server:(Name of my server) Sending the message content to the server failed. Select a different outgoing mail server."

    I've been sending .doc files with/without also .jpg as attachments without problems so it is possibly not a Leopard problem. I know this doesn't solve your problem though. Someone else may be able to solve the problem.

  • Is it possible to change the fonts in an illustrator document in Indesign or any other program BESIDES illustrator?

    Is there a quick way to change/replace the font of an illustrator document in inDesign or any other app? Thanks

    Depends on what is in the AI file.
    CD does a normally good job unless there are meshes and a particular type of transparency (I forget which one). I usually don't get "fancy" AI files. Stock & Trade, bare-bones types of files. these open in a few of the applications I use daily. That said, I never do it unless I need to return a format other than AI--because, well, why? I always try to use the originating application with the exception of older EPS files. As a lot of the daily stuff I do is screen printing, and because most every screen printer I deal with use CD, at some point the art has to go into CD.

  • No preview or preview button appears when I try to print a web page, as it does for any other file. How can I arrange for preview?

    n the dialog box that appears when I try to print any web page, there is neither a preview nor a preview button, (although there is a preview if I open the web item as a pdf file, but that takes an extra step. A preview appears when I print any other file on my computer (a Macbook). Is there a setup procedure that will give a preview when printing one or several web pages?

    The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
    You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
    * Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    * Use "View > Toolbars > [X] Menu Bar" to have the menu bar visible permanently.

  • I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

  • ITunes 10.6.3 Mac running 10.7.3 not responding I have deleted iTunes and reinstall iTunes and it keeps happening I also scanned the computer for any trojans and any other possible viruses but the pc is running perfect waft do I do ? Please help me ?

    I need help iTunes 10.6.3 Mac running 10.7.3 not responding I have deleted iTunes and reinstall iTunes and it keeps happening I also scanned the computer for any trojans and any other possible viruses but the pc is running perfect waft do I do ? Please help me ?

    Hey thanks for replying.
    Here's what I did:
    First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
    Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
    I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
    Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
    Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

  • Having trouble udating to 10.4.6 and any other software

    I'm having trouble installing 10.4.6, and any other software upgrade for that matter. I've tried to upgrade software on another program I use this week. Both the other app's and 10.4.6 updaters will start the install and then give me an error that says something like, "There were errors during installation. Please try installing again later."
    Don't know what kind of errors...just "errors." Very un-mac like.
    My system seems to be running fine otherwise. My apps work fine...it's just when I run a software updater. I've repaired permissions and Disk First Aid says there are no repairs necessary to my drive.
    Any ideas?
    It's a Powermac.G5 1.6ghz running 10.4.5.
    Thanks,
    TimR>

    I started to update from 10.4.5 on my brand new Mac G5 Quadra and the updater showed no drives in the drive window where you choose where to install. I tried both the Combo and the Delta, so then I went to disk utility to see if something was wrong, still no drives. Tried unhooking all peripherals. Booted from orig CD and got to disk utility, said had boot tree problem, repaired it. Tried to update again, still no drives. Even tried an fsck-y in Linux, said everything was fine. Still no drives. Tried Drive 10 and Tech tool ---said no problems. I called Apple help, I'd done everything he recommended...so he said to take it to the nearest Apple store. Not exactly the solution I was hoping for.
    Help!!!
    I run Disk Utility once a month just to keep things running smoothly. So far the rest of the machine is working fine...but My Mac is my business..without it I'm in big trouble. I'm worried. Any ideas out there?

  • I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

    I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

    Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.

    However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately.

  • Unable to convert PDF files to any other file format using Acrobat XI Pro

    Acrobat XI Pro ver11.0.2
    Office 2013 Pro Plus
    Windows 8 Pro
    When I open a PDF file and try to export file to: Word, RTF, Excel, XML or PowerPoint, I woud receive the error below.
    Save As failed to process this document. No file was created.
    I recall in the past that I was able to export PDF to Excel & Word.  I simply tried the other file formats to see what happens.
    Unfortunately for me, this is happening to both of my machines.  Same version software except the other machine is Windows 7 Pro. I have admin level rights to both PCs.
    Not sure what to do at this point.
    As another test, I did the following.
    Created a document in Word, then saved as a PDF file.  Opened that PDF file to save as a Word doc and I received the error listed above.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thank you

    Thank you for the suggestions
    "Created a document in Word, then saved as a PDF file.  Opened that PDF file to save as a Word doc and I received the error listed above".
    I used another machine.  Created a Virtual Machine with Office 2013 and Acobat XI and I do not have issues with converting PDF to any of the available formats.  Its not the file I'm using, its the software itself that is the issue.
    Unfortunately, I did uninstall Office 2013 & Acrobat XI then reinstalled but I still have the problem so I can only guess once its broken in the registry, I will continue to have an issue.
    For now, I'm going to move Acrobat XI on the VM since I dont have time to reinstall Windows 8.
