Downloads different file type.

I'm downloading Word documents, from email for example, and they are being saved to hard drive as application files. Jeopardy files to be exact, a program I have for Classroom Jeopardy.
Help????

Right click on the file in question (hold down the Control key while clicking in place of a right click) and select Get Info. About mid-way down the window you should see "Open with" and below it a drop down box with the application that handles that file type.
If you have MS Office either select it if it's available on the drop down or select Other and navigate to Word from there. Once it's been selected select the "Change All...." and now all the .doc files (or whatever you're trying to open) will be associated with Word.
Of course this assumes that the files are indeed Word documents.

Download different file types on nokia lumia 920

Hi,
I recently got myself a nokia lumia 920.. Great phone i must say, however i find this phone is more limiting than the iPhone, or a cheap black berry curve
Firstly, you cannot download anything from the internet that is not compatible with the phone, for example, .exe, .zip, .dll etc etc. This is the most annoying thing for me, as i constantly need to download software, drivers and tools to copy later to my computer. The other night i urgently needed internet access on my PC, and wanted to tether using my phone, NO USB tether support - HOW LAME!. anyways, i got myself a wireless card for my PC, but did not have the drivers for it... And could not download the drivers using my Lumia. So i managed to get the micro sim working in my old blackberry 9300 curve, and successfully downloaded my wifi drivers. So not being able to download anything either than apps and pictures on this lumia makes it a huge fail, what is the use of having so much storage and high broadband speed on this phone?
Next is the bluetooth,
I hate it! cannot define what services to connect over bluetooth... for example:
I have a bluetooth enabled radio in my car, and connect my Lumia to it. Works great for phone calls, however if you lock/unlock the phone, type a message or use the phone in anyway, it cuts whatever is playing on my radio and changes it to bluetooth audio mode... Now with my previous phones, blackberry, samsung etc. i could set the bluetooth service to only work as handsfree, and not stream all my phone's audio through to bluetooth. With the nokia Lumia, there is no options when it comes to bluetooth, either on or off - LAME
And then the magnetic charger....
Does not work, charged the phone until full, next morning the phone is off - dead flat (6hours after fully charged)
I exchanged the charger twice already, and sent the phone in for repairs, this problem is still not resolved. So i have been using my old blackberry charger to charge the lumia - lasts +- 1.5 days now with constant usage.
The nokia lumia has all the basic smart phone stuff - GPS navigation, exchange email supp, sync drive(skydrive etc), USB connectivity and storage, and internet tether - but the limiting options for downloading and bluetooth make this phone less of a smart phone than my blackberry curve. This phone is just pretty, and should only be used by people who want something fancy and limited, or developers that need to test apps on windows mobile 8.

Did you check the detailed Info of the Application ? Does it mention the functionality which you think is missing ?

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.

Finding missing files that are a different file type?

I had several folders of jpegs that i converted to dng with lightroom. I lost the dng files and now i only have the original jpegs. when i introduce them back to lightroom it no longer recognizes them because of the different file type. When i "find" and individul file it works and the missing dng is replaced with the jpeg.
The find nearby files option does not work and finding thousands of files individually is just not going to work. I don't want to reimport because i will lose all the work i have done to these files.
Any ideas? Maybe I should wait for 3.0?
thanks,
Braden

... the dng converter wont convert a jpeg to dng only camera raw files...
Didn't know about that.
In this case, you can use Lightroom to convert to DNG:
Start a fresh catalog.
Import all your JPEGs.
Use the Convert to DNG command in Library module to convert all JPEGs at once. It will place the new DNGs in the same catalog as the source JPEGs.
Open the original catalog where the DNGs are missing — the old catalog should be fine finding the newly created DNGs now.
You can now trash the "new" catalog.

Opening different file types

Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0 (Production)
Hi
How can you open different file types saved in the database as BLOBs using Webutil? I am capturing the filename and extension as well.
The file types are: Excel Spreadsheets, MS Word, PDF, Mail Attachments (outlook)
I am aware of web.show_document but using that, don't the files need to be on a server?
I don't want to use javabeans, if that helps.
thanks

Hello,
Webutil is enough ;-)

Different File Types to Import - To Conver or not to convert?

I have a project that I am dealing with which is requiring several different file types. Mainly .avi exported from VEGAS and footage ripped from a DVD.
I have heard that it is best to use MPEG Streamclip to convert everything to a DVPro format (I am outputting in SD for broadcast) but wouldn't that just cause more compression?
What is the best way to handle multiple file formats and the best output settings for broadcast when dealing with multiple formats? Thanks!

The Avi's might work OK as they are, but the DVD footage has to go through MPEG streamclip. You might have to do this with the Avi's too, but not always... depends on the codec that was used to capture them in Vegas.
Might try putting the AVI's in Compressor for the conversion if need be, as it might look a bit better in the end. But you've no choice with the files ripped from the DVD.

Encoding different file types to binary

Hi, im writing an application which takes different file types and then encodes them to be sent down a noisy channel, after random effects the data must be decoded back to binary. I have done the algorthims for encoding and decoding binary but i dont know how convert the file types to binary. (files such as jpgs and mp3 and txt)

...i know how to do the encoding on binary ...
...im not sure how to do this...Maybe you could start by explaining the problem in detail to yourself such that you understand it, then come back and tell us.
Are you concerned about a difference between a JPG file vs a text file? Text files, in the context you are describing, can be treated as binary just as easily. Use a FileInputStream to read it and you get bytes just like any other file.

Uploading of different file types in jsp

hello,
i have implemented a jsp web application where you can upload either
a PDF file (file.pdf) or a latex file (file.tex).
currently i have two different upload file tags so if a user wants to
upload a pdf he/she will use the upload pdf path as shown in the
code below:

<form action="upload.jsp" name="upform"enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="filename" size="50"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="todo" value="upload">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload">
</form>
<h3>
Upload for PDF Files Only </h3>
<form action="uploadPDF.jsp" name="upform"enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="PDFfilename" size="50"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="todo" value="upload">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload">
</form>
As you can see above that there are two different paths.
Does anyone know if a user submits a PDF the system should recognize the pdf file extension and call the uploadPDF.jsp page and
if the file is a latex file then it should call the latex method.
pls ur help will be appreciated,
thanks,
moh

Hi there,
Take a look at : http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/
You will need to download 2 additional JAR files to implement the file upload functionality
1) commons-fileupload-1.1.1.jar - get it from http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons-fileupload.cgi
2) commons-io-1.3.jar - get it from
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/dependencies.html
As Gimball mentioned earlier first perform the test for the file type with Javascript - you can research on Google for the Javascript solution.
After it passes the Javascript test here's some code with JSP, Servlets that might help you write your own solution:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
somefile.jsp , located under for example:
\p\test29\somefile.jsp

}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Add these to your /WEB-INF/web.xml
First you define the servlet, and provide a URL pattern.
The URL pattern is the form's action in the above JSP file.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>FileUploadServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>test29.FileUploadServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>FileUploadServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/fileUploadServlet</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fileReceive.jsp
located under:
\p\test29\fileReceive.jsp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head><title>Process File</title></head>
<body>
Uploaded File Content Type is : <%=request.getAttribute("contentType")%>
</body>
</html>In the above JSP you can test for the contentType, if it is not PDF or TEX then perform the next action.
The above code is not very clean or the best way to accomplish this, but it should at least help you get started and it works.

Webcrawler issue: Downloads different file than the one visible in browser

Hi Everyone,
I am using a webcrawler to download webpages from a site. But it seems to be downloading different HTML files from the ones I can see in the browser. Someone suggested that I might try and setRequestProperty() to fake a browser.
Could anyone tell me how to do that? I would really appreciate that. A pointer to a website would also be great...
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. The program can download the HTML pages correctly, apart from one missing column in a table in each page (which happens to be important for me!).
I am getting the HTML files using HttpURLConnection.
It has been pointed out to me by another someone :) that this might be due to the fact that the site requires a login, which I completely forgotten when writing the code. So that someone seems to suggest that adding code for setting cookies might solve this issue. Can anyone lead me through the process briefly? Or point me to documentation?
Thanks again,
Sameer
What do the files you get look like ? Error pages ?
Default pages ? How are you getting them ? HTTP by
hand ? HttpURLConnection ?

Different file types

I really dislike about Numbers that if I work with any other file type than *.numbers I can´t directly save in that file.
I am working as evolution biologist and I mostly work with *.csv and *.tsv for different programs.
Numbers should really be able to save in the original file type.
Cause I dislike exporting each file as *.csv, open it in TextEdit and change each separation symbol from ";" to TABs for example.
Or do I miss a button in that program ?
Cheers
Niklas

Hi Gaia,
Cause I dislike exporting each file as *.csv, open it in TextEdit and change each separation symbol from ";" to TABs for example.
If you need tab-delimited data (.tsv), instead of exporting as .csv and then converting you can just select the cells with the data, command-c to copy, and you will then have tab-delimited data on the system clipboard. You can paste then that into TextEdit and save with a .tsv extension or paste directly into other apps that accept tab-separated data.
A simple AppleScript can also save a .tsv file at the touch of a keyboard shortcut. I haven't done that because I find copy-paste easier.

Block downloading by file type ?

Is there a way to block the downloading of particular file types eg mp3 ? and if so where and how to place the rule. Any info appreciated.

You can create a Deny URL rule, using a wildcard (*) and an extension
(e.g. .mp3). Put that higher in the rules list than any Allow rule which
would otherwise let that URL go through. If you have proxy
authentication working, you can assign the deny rule to users, groups or
containers to selectively deny that traffic.
Sooner or later though, you will probably find that someone gets cute and
starts changing the extensions on files, or removing them, at least for
ones they put up on their own websites.

Reading through different file types in one folder

Basically my problem is this:
I want to create one .xml file that calls different .xsl stylesheets depending on the file type that I am calling. I have a folder with .jpg, .mpg, and .xml files in it and want the main .xml file to read through the folder and display all the .jpgs in a particular way, all the .mpgs in another way, and reads out the data from the .xml files in another way. So my questions are:
1. Should I use an .xml file to call the others? (or would I just use html or something)
2. How do I apply the different stylesheets / display characteristics based on the filetype that is called?
3. How do I read through the folder and call only the files with certain extensions?
4. I am also having trouble getting things like XQuery, XPointer, etc. to work, should I be writing these into an .xml file or an html file or what?
Sorry, I know its a lot of questions, but I'm pretty new at this. Thanks!

You can get around the problem with the pictures by making smart albums in iPhoto and telling to not include anything that has avi in the filename.
Since Front Row doesn't currently like video files in playlists, the only real suggestion I can make for that is to drag copies of the videos (can just drag copy them right out of iPhoto into a Finder window) into the ~/Movies folder or a subfolder inside here. That will allow you to browse them alphabetically by selecting the Movies folder from within the Front Row interface.

Deploying different file types in Java Web Applications

Hi,
I have recently return to web development in java after a long break and im having some trouble that i dont remember having before.
I have a web application bundles in a WAR file which is fully working in a fresh instillation of tomcat 5.5, servlets and jsp are all fine, but the jsp files are using a css which is also bundled in the WAR file.
The problem is that when i try to access to css from the html in the jsp files or directly by typing the url it is saying file not found, i have also tried this with a number of other file types, even .txt files .htm, .html files and the only files that i can access from the WAR once deployed are the jsps. I have tried adding the MIME types into the web.xml file for these files with no joy. Any idea how i can get these files to be accessible through the web server?

i have just worked out what it is, i had a servlet where the url-mapping set to the root of the web app i.e. '/'. when i changed it to something different it started to work.
thanks for the suggestion anyway

Creating pdfs from different file types (.doc,.xls etc) and merging them into a single pdf with book

Hi,
I need to create a pdf from 2 different file formats, for example .doc and .xls file and merge the contents of the two files into a single pdf.Also the final pdf created must contain bookmarks and links. Thanks in advance.
Priyanka

You can do this on the desktop using the Acrobat SDK as a custom plugin.
You can do this on a server with Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator.
