Edit document without open?

Hi all,
is it possible to edit a document without open it?
thx

Ok, thats fine...my little problem now is that i have the following code:
var BookContents = app.activeBook.bookContents;
for (var x = 0; x <= BookContents.count(); x++) {
     var file = new File("/Volumes"+BookContents[x].filePath);
     alert(file.exists); << This returns true
     var doc = app.open(file, false);
     alert(app.activeDocument()); << This returns null !!!!
     alert(app.documents[0]); << Also returns null !!!!
As u can see i want to iterate over bookcontents, open every doc an change some links.
Now i cant get the doc because this is null....
Maybe you have an idea?

  • Printing a document without opening it in Oracle Forms 10g

    Hi Friends,
    This is my first thread in this forum. Please any one give me a solution for my below request.
    We use oracle 10g and windows (any version). I want to print some files available in a folder without opening it (run in background) through oracle forms.
    My requirement is:
    A folder contains 10 files of word and excels documents. The client machine user (for example 3 clients’ machines who has different default printer configuration) has to trigger the print command to print the documents.
    * I have found Article "Java Bean to print a file to Local Printer" (http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html). I do think it will help.
    * I have found a windows command prompt print concept.
    PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2
    Prints a text file.
    PRINT [D:device] [[drive:][path]filename[...]]
    /D:device specifies a print device.
    * The command prompt print syntax is used with webutil function as given below.
    CLIENT_HOST('cmd PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2);
    1) is the web util syntax only enough for this requirement?
    2) In this how to find the default printers in each client machines and use in the place of syntax?
    3) Or any other ways available for this requirement.
    I look forward solution for this question....!

    Hi Jeshra,
    Another option would be to find or write a Windows PowerShell script to print any file and then call that from CLIENT_HOST. Many file types, including Microsoft Office files, have a print operation registered with Windows so you can right-click on them in Windows Explorer and choose "Print." You should be able to exploit this ability with PowerShell.
    A quick Google search revealed this potential PowerShell solution:
    http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/karl-prosser/archive/2009/02/10/print_2D00_file_2D00_function.aspx
    PowerShell is installed by default only on Windows 7 so you would have to install it on older Windows clients.
    Hope that helps,
    Brian

  • See used fonts without opening ai doc

    hi,
    is there a way to see what fonts are used in an illustrator document without opening it.
    maybe an applescript or something, but it should not be a third party app or plug-in.
    by the way: it should work with mac os x
    thanks

    Perhaps you missed these key parts of the inquiry.

    The package feature that you mentioned requires them to have Illustrator and actually open each document in order to create, utilize and see such a report.

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

    Yes, "pages.app" will open these files. In the same manner "numbers.app" will open xls,xlsx and "keynote.app" will open powerpoint files.
    iwork09 files from a Mac can also be opened. And you can save each files back in various file formats, also save them  as pdf.
    Also, can I save a document attachment from an email and open it on my iPad for reviewing and editing?
    Yes. "open in .." then a suitable app is in the list : say you get a docx, then pages will be presented as app to open it.
    Cheers
    Mr Bunyip?
    Enjoy it.

  • How to edit linked text in an Indesign long document without it effecting the whole document

    I want to work out how to edit text in indesign without the rest scrolling
    I have a large 200 page book.  The text was supplied in Word and I have placed the whole document automatically and now I am going through each page doing my magic with pics, stylesheets etc.
    When the client comes back with edits, I am concerned that deleted or adding in text will scroll the text to the next chapter, etc etc.  This will be a nightmare.  Not sure how to unlink say 5 pages or so that are in each chapter so I can edit easily without the whole document being effected.
    Apologies I am probably not explaining myself all that well.

    john the link is broken
    I can see there are scripts but I don't want each page separate rather each chapter (each chapter can go for 2 or 7 pages)
    I am only 35 pages or so into the book and if I have to I can re place the text with some work, ie start again with the text pages.
    seems sily though that I cannot split the threaded stories a few pages at a time.
    The link is now fixed.
    You can split the threaded story into separate stories anywhere in the thread. At the chapter breaks seems logical. There are many users who'll assert all sorts of right/wrong at you when it comes to threading text. For my purposes, I set up long documents much the way you propose; threading articles, stories, or chapters discreetly; rarely would I ever thread an entire long document as one. It's a preference, not a rule. Each way has benefits and pitfalls.

  • How to disable "Edit in browser" button in office documents that open in browser

    guys,
    Environment:
    sharepoint 2010
    installed Office Web app
    i installed office word apps and integrated it with sharepoint 2010 and all the office documents now open in the browser. but this also give the qualified users access to the button "Edit in Browser" while viewing the document in the browser (and if the user
    selects to do this and saves then it creates an office 2010 document in the document library), is there any way to disabled the "edit in browser" option completely for all the users, i dont want any users to edit documents online.
    thanks
    sameer.

    Ok so i came up with hack to 'hide' the edit link ..
    You need to edit the css file here on your server
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\INC\1033\WordViewer\WordViewer.css
    and add this 
     div [title="Edit in Browser"]{display:none};
    And to hide the edit capabilties for Powerpoint app - add this jquery
    $('iframe[id*="MSOPageViewerWebPart"]').ready(function () {
            $('iframe[id*="MSOPageViewerWebPart"]').contents().find('.ms-cui-ctl-medium').each(function () {
                if ($(this).text() == "Edit in Browser")
                    $(this).hide();
    Obviously not great solutions, but works for now.

  • How to "go to a page in another document" without closing currently open document?

    I've created a form that used a button to jump to another pdf document. This second document is included in the first document as an attachment so that the whole package can be sent to people as one document.
    It works well but the problem is that when the button is selected the document that is already open is closed (albeit with a save document prompt).
    There seems to be no way to keep the existing document open whilst the second document (the linked document) is opened.
    Is there a solution to this?

    Go to the button's Properties and edit the "Go to a page view" action
    you've created. Edit the "Open In" option and set it to "New Window".

  • I downloaded the 09 version without deleting the 0, and now I am having some problems : when I open a document, it opens with 09, and then when I try to re-open it with 08 it is not possible !

    I downloaded the 09 version without deleting the 08 (didn't know), and now I am having some problems : when I open a document, it opens with 09, and then when I try to re-open it with 08 it is not possible ! I have a message saying tha "the fichier index xml is absent" (my computer is in French. I want to work with pages 08 until I get familiar with the 09 version. What shall I do ? What does this happen?

    Once you open the files in the new version you can't open them in the old version. Pick one version to use (have to be 9 now as you already have converted files)

  • 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,
    Sara

  • Edit the document without having to save a copy

    At my work we get lots of plans in pdf format, that often need rotating. However, more often than not we get a box saying "This document restricts certain features...." yadda yadda yadda, and makes us save a copy before we can edit it. This is very time consuming. Is there any way to remove this feature or get around it so we can just rotate the damn document without going through all this hassle?
    Thanks

    This message appears when the Extended Reader Rights have been applied to
    the document in Acrobat. You can ask whoever is providing you with them not
    to do it, in order to save you that extra step, but if they do, there's no
    other way around it, I'm afraid. Maybe you could use an Action (if you
    have Acrobat Pro) to save copies of multiple files, so you won't
    have to process them one by one.

  • Print without opening document

    So I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I've tried doing a quick search and couldn't find anything. I would like to be able to print documents from Word, to jpg images without actually opening them to save time opening and closing them. Example in windows (although I can't stand) I'm able to right click and choose print from the drop down. How do I do that with Leopard, I have yet to figure that out.

    The printer proxies (or desktop printers) are also able to handle certain file types without opening the application. File types for some applications, such as TextEdit and Preview, are able to be printed without having the application launch. Other applications open and don't put up the print dialog, or open and do put up the print dialog. It depends on the file type and how the application responds to the request to print the document.
    Hope this helps.

  • My father-in-law passed recently, leaving behind an unopened copy of CS 5.5 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition for Macs.  How can I find out if he registered this software without opening it?

    Hello forum,
    Hopefully a simple question.  My father-in-law passed recently, leaving behind an unopened copy of CS 5.5 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition for Macs.  How can I find out if he registered this software without opening it?  After finding out how much this software runs, I'd like to sell or return it if possible to give the money to my mother-in-law for funeral costs.
    Thank you,

    Mylenium,
    Thanks for the quick response!
    Thats a shame that it can't be used. Are you sure I couldn't donate the software to a university or school?  It just seems like a big waste for something so expensive.
