Edit a downloaded document

I downloaded a lease/rental form off the internet and wish to be able to edit it. Not sure how to make the document editable. Thanks Using OS X 10.6.8

Dennis,
What is the 3 letter extension to the lease form? It will be something like:
lease.pdf
lease.doc
lease.docx
My first guess is it's a PDF document, but without knowing what editing you wish to do it's very difficult to help you. If by editing you mean to simply fill out the form then some PDF's are designed to do that by simply typing in fields that need to be completed. If by editing you mean to modify words or phrases then you will need to buy a PDF editor. You can find many in the Mac App Store by searching for a PDF Editor.

Editing a downloaded document "in place" and re-uploading it

We're using the following procedure to download a document that has previously been uploaded to a BLOB field in the table.
create or replace procedure download_doc (req_id in varchar2) as
v_mime varchar2(48);
v_length number;
v_file_name varchar2(2000);
v_blob blob;
begin
select resp_mime_type, resp_doc_content, resp_doc_name, dbms_lob.getlength (resp_doc_content)
into v_mime, v_blob, v_file_name, v_length
from <tablename>
where id = req_id;
owa_util.mime_header (nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE);
htp.p ('Content-length: ' || v_length);
htp.p ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || v_file_name || '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file (v_blob);
end;
The issue we're running into, is that when a user wants to download a document, the user is presented with the choice of opening or saving the downloaded document. That works OK, but what we'd really like to do is offer the user a chance to edit the downloaded document and then by saving the changes (such as by closing the window in which the downloaded document appears, after making edits), the modified document is "re-uploaded" to the database. What we have to do now is save the download document to the user's PC, then the user has to open the document and modify it, save it, and re-upload it to the database.
Any ideas on how we can save the users a few steps and upload the document directly after editing? Thanks.

Then the answer is no. The file needs to be saved down to CS5.5 or exported as IDML from CS6.

Editing and uploading a downloaded document

Have an application that allows for both uploads of documents (using a File Browse item and transferring the relevant fields from the HTMLDB_APPLICATIION_FILES view to my customized table) and downloads of documents (using a call via a URL to a customized copy of the Oracle download procedure presented in the sample application). Both the upload and download process work OK.

Well, you can only do that when the content being edited is plain text (mime type text/plain) and less than 32K (hard limit in PL/SQL)
Looking at how that page (4000:46) is built in f4000.sql, there seem to be some APIs that do some magic
l_text := wwv_flow_utilities.clob_to_varchar2(
wwv_flow_utilities.blob_to_clob(p_blob=>l_blob,p_charset=>l_charset));Clearly, all these are undocumented internal-only Oracle APIs that Oracle is not obliged to support.
Search around on asktom.oracle.com, I am sure you will find code examples that do this sort of thing.
Hope this helps.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

Apple discontinued its iWork Beta trial which allowed for the placement of documents on the web and provide others the ability to read, edit and download no matter their software. Is there a replacement product?

The download of the document failed .
Is there any PC specific configuration required? For the same user we are able to edit the documents from some PCs but from another it is not working.

How do i edit a saved document?

how do I edit a saved document?

Hi wallacem59620634,
Are you referring to a file that you've saved to your Acrobat.com online account? If so, you'll need to download that file to your computer to edit it. Please follow these steps:
Log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
Select the file that you want to edit, and then click Download. The file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer. From there, you can open it in an application that supports that file format and edit it.
Please note, that if you're working with a PDF file, you'll need to use Acrobat to edit the content. If you don't have Acrobat, please feel free to download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Hi sylvias99766822,
You can if you have Acrobat. If you don't, feel free to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Keep in mind, though, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a word processor. So, while you can make adjustments to text and graphics, if you need to do a major overhaul of the text in the document, it's best to go back to the source document and edit the content there.
Best,

Opening downloaded documents

Since installing snow leopard I have had difficulty opening downloaded documents. I get message saying they cannot be opened. If I then view them in finder I can click on "open with" and open with text edit or Adobe Reader. I never had to do this before, the correct program was simply used. I also do not have this problem on my iMac with snow leopard already installed at purchase, so there must be a way to set this up.....but I cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated, as this is getting to be a pain with many non-Pages documents sent to me via email or downloaded by me for classes. Thanks for any help you can give this neophyte!!

There has been a change in Snow Leopard regarding how the files are registered with their respective app.
You might need to do this manually once by selecting the file in the Finder and do a Get Info on it.
Then there is an "Open with" (or like) section where you would need to select the app your want to document to be opened with. Then make also sure to click on a button called "Always open with selected application" (or similar).
The next time you double-click these kind of document, it will open with the same app.

Open Acrobat manually and go to Edit - Preferences - General. Click the "Select Default PDF Handler" button and then select Acrobat from the list and click on OK. The next time you open a PDF it will be opened in Acrobat automatically.

Mac Digital Editions not Downloading eBooks through Safari

I recently had problem with Adobe Digital Editions not downloading files from the MyMediaMall library website. It had worked initially, but developed a fault probably to do with Safari. I could download limited titles from the Adobe sample book web page but nothing from the library's site. To fix the problem it was necessary to remove Digital Editions from my computer and reinstall it. To remove digital Editions completely it is necessary to do the following.
To completely delete Adobe Digital Editions from an iMac with Snow Leopard OS 10 locate delete the following folders and files:
1. Under, /Documents/Digital Editions, drag the Digital Editions folder to the trash
2. Locate, /Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/digitaleditions. Drag the digitaleditions1x5 folder to the Trash. Empty the Trash.
3. Open the "Keychain" utility located in Applications/Utilities. In the left hand column under category click Passwords. Locate and click "Digital Editions" in the main window. Right click this file and click delete.
4. With these files and folders deleted download and reinstall the Adobe Digital Editions software. It will be necessary to go through the authorization process again.
I hope this will save another Mac/Safari user some trouble in the future.

Hello,
Please read below thread for the solution:

Is it possible to download document from a PC to the I-pad 2?

Is it possible to download a document from my PC to my I-Pad 2?

The easiest way to transfer a document for a beginner - IMHO - is to email the file. These are the file formats that the iPad can read as mail attachments with no need for a third party app. The caveat here is read only - not edit.
Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
There are apps available that will let you edit word processing, spreadsheet and presentation files. Apple's iWorks suite, Documents to Go, Office2 HD and others can edit the MS office suite applications. You will need one of these apps on the iPad to edit and to save the files. On the iPad, files are saved in the app in which they are created. There is no conventional folder structure on the iPad for file saving.
The other ways that you can transfer files back and forth are with a cloud service like DropBox and the iOS file sharing feature. File sharing is performed when you you sync with iTunes on your computer. You can read this for more information.
