Editing Shared Documents

I'm working on a document with several co-authors. We want to track edits to the document in a way similar to Word, where each person's changes show up in different colors. It seems,however, that the only way we can indicate changes is with the comment pop-ups. Is there another way?

Thank you for your question. As you've discovered, the way Buzzword tracks changes is via the (different colors randomly assigned) comment pop-ups, rather than different colors within the document itself. I'm sorry, but at present there is not another way. I will certainly share your feedback with the team. Thank you for using Buzzword!
p.s. You can help us out by visiting Acrobat.com Ideas - http://ideas.acrobat.com - where you can submit your ideas on how we can improve and vote on which ideas should be our priority. You could try submitting the above suggestion, if it's popular, we can certainly prioritize it!

How can I use pages.app to edit an iCloud shared document?

Sharing a pages doc on iCloud is pretty easy. However the recipent/collaborator the document is shared with appears to be able to edit such document only through the browser on iCloud. What if the collaborator has his/her own pages.app installed on the Mac, is it not possible to somehow link or download the shared document so that he/she can use his pages.app on the Mac to do all the editing and viewing?

The second option assumes a service other than Apple's icloud with more direct file management. For example: Download the DropBox apps and set up an account (basic account is free). Load the files to DropBox via Pages using Open in another app, or via the dropbox website in a browser on a computer (the latter would be much quicker). From the Dropbox app, you can open them in Pages and save the file there. Box will do the same thing.
But honestly, just because particular files exist in icloud doesn't mean you actually have to open them on a specific device. Might be much easier to get creative with some folder naming and leave them as is.

Can multiple people edit and update a shared document in Numbers?

Hi!
Just a quick one for you guys!
I have recently discoverer 'Numbers' which is great! I then discovered you could share a spreadsheet which is perfect for us as we quiet often need to be working in the same document from our iPhones. However, we do not seem to be able to see each others changes on the shared document. Is it actually possible for us to both work in the spreadsheet and it automatically update each others spreadsheet or is it that when we are done editing, we can only send it to our own iCloud?
Thanks!
Ry

If you share an iCloud link, you can all edit the same document through a web browser. But it has to be a "full" web browser. Mobile Safari on the iPhone can't handle it.
If you're editing the document in Numbers for iOS then others won't be able to see your changes. You'll have to email or share a link to your edited version.

How do I edit a document once it is uploaded to a shared workspace?

I have uploaded a Word document to a shared workspace but cant figure out how to
edit the document. When I click on the document it opens in a seperate window but the document is not editable. Buzzword does not give me the option to open this document. If I open Buzzword and try to open the file from there it launches Acrobat.com again. I must be missing something. Any help appreciated.

Hello there,
Thank you for posting your question to the Acrobat.com forum. The answer is to IMPORT the document - not upload it. When you upload a .doc or .docx file, you can share or preview the file, but not edit it. When you import it, Acrobat.com will automatically convert it to Buzzword format for further editing and collaborative authoring (if you like). The "Import" command can be found in your organizer view or, within a Buzzword document, in the "Document" menu. If you need more information, there's a video here in which we discuss previewing files on Acrobat.com:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-tips-and-tricks/previewing-files-on-acrobatcom/
Just let me know if you have any more questions.
Best,

How do I download a shared document with markups and comments?

I have a pdf document that was shared (in a share pod) during a collaborative meeting and is still in the virtual meeting room. I need to download it and edit. When I "save as", the document opens on my computer in the original state; with no markups and no comments. There MUST be a way to save or download the document in order to make the changes. Any ideas?
Thanks...

I do not think it is possible. When a pdf is imported into Adobe Connect it converts it to an swf and one actually edits on a white board and not on the actual pdf.
A possible work around would be to share your desktop and work directly on your desktop. In so doing you are actually editing the document itself.

Adding query string to files already within shared documents

Am a Sharepoint newbie, so hopefully this is an easy one. Am trying to add a query string to some hyperlinks (of PDF files) that are already published in a Shared Documents web part. What's the best way to accomplish this? Can't seem to find an easy
way to edit the raw HTML anchor tag, which would be so simple. Is the anchor tag HTML exposed someplace where I can edit?
Thanks in advance.

You could potentially modify the rendering of a specific Shared Documents by modifying the XSL of your view in SharePoint Designer. However, this will not affect all libraries and not all views of the library, just the specific page.
The jQuery method is actually very easy and can be deployed site-wide by adding a reference to your MasterPage, or to a specific view / page by using the Content Editor Web Part. The actual jQuery would look something like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a[href$='.pdf']").attr('href', function(i, v) {
return v + '#YourCustomQueryString';

Shared documents and UCM

We are in the process of replacing our shared network drives with UCM in my organization, and during our information audits we have discovered that many folks throughout the organization make rampant use of shared Excel files. We are now being asked how UCM can support these documents, and we have no answers.
Does anyone know of a UCM feature or component that would allow a shared document to be opened and edited by multiple users in realtime? I'm thinking like Google Docs type functionality.
Thanks,
Phil
Edited by: Phil on Jul 20, 2011 12:04 PM

Phil,
UCM itself is a document management system, so it has almost no control about what desktop application can or cannot do with a document.
However, UCM controls check-out and check-in of a document, and there the rule says that a document can be checked-out (-in) by a single user only. The exception is so-called folio which is an XML construct able to reference multiple documents - thus, a single user can have a single document checked-out, but the folio is kind of checked out by multiple users (a good use case is a book consisting of chapters written by many authors).
Nevertheless, even the standard mechanism, that is, a file (Excel sheet in your case) checked-out by a single user will not prevent editing by multiple users. Only the design will be lame - the file while being edited will have to be stored outside UCM and it will be checked-in by the single user when done.

Sharing documents between Macs - what user name should I use?

I have been trying to set up a shared folder on our main work Macbook so that my Macbook can access and edit the documents in that folder.
I have created a username "lastnamefirstname" on the main macbook and enabled permissions on that username to read and write.
However, when I connect to the folder with that exact user name, all the files and folders show up as read only.
Should the username be exactly the same as my computers name? Or can it be anything? I've tried different combinations of "lastname firstname", "firstname lastname", and I've tried deleting all the login details from my keychain and retrying, but I'm still coming up against the same problem.
Thanks for your time!

hi Ricardo,
I think you just have to set up a validation, you don't need an exit for that. You can do that in GGB0. On the other hand due date as field does not exist, so don't look for that
hope this helps

Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

Hi All,
We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

Office Web App Server 2013: cannot edit word document with own WOPI Server

Hi all,
I tried to build our own WOPI Server to connect to Office Web App Server 2013 SP1. Viewing documents
in IE was possible quite easy to achieve. Now it comes to editing.
When I try to edit a document, I got a german message “Sie verfügen leider nicht über die Berechtigung zum Bearbeiten dieses Dokuments“.
This means something like „Sorry, you do not have any permission to modify this document”.
I enabled editing on the OWAS-Server while setup procedure
(Until now, I only have an InternalUrl but no ExternalUrl.)
PS C:\ > New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalUrl “https://win-owas...”
–CertificateName "win-owas…" –EditingEnabled
ULS log shows
BaseDocument says editing is not supported [WebEditingEnabled: True] [SupportsEditing: True] [PinnedUsersRights: Read]
So far, I implemented these three REST service methods:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}?access_token={access_token}"
"GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
"POST":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
Office Web App Server was downloaded from “Microsoft Volume Licensing Center”. I installed latest updates from Microsoft.
Did anybody succeed in writing to own WOPI an can give me some hints?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The discovery xml contains many lines. The one for editing docx is:
<action
name="edit"
urlsrc="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?"<ui=UI_LLCC=""&><rs=DC_LLCC=""&><showpagestats=PERFSTATS=""&>"
ext="docx" requires="locks,cobalt,update"/>
I am calling it this way:
<iframe
src="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?WOPISrc=http%3a%2f%2fpc-ms.cado.camos.de%3a8000%2fWOPI%2fapi%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2FAbout_Keyboard_Input.docx&access_token=5268690b-19c6-496d-8ae6-b694f8e7bd0c"
I’m not sure whether or not I implemented "locks,cobalt,update" correct, but I do not see any ‘edit-’network traffic from OWAS-Server to WOPI-Server. So I cannot debug anything. I will (re)check the articles you mentioned.
Thank you for your help.

In pages, when a create a document, potions of it, say several pages will be clumped together and it effects me editing their order. It is like they are forever joined- How do I edit my document and print just one page or move just one page?

Unable to edit the document in sharepoint2010

Hi,
I am unable to edit the document in sharepoint2010 with IE-10 while editing i am getting the error like
"The form cannot be displayed in the browser because the use of session cookies has been disabled in the current browser settings.In order to load the form the session cookies must be allowed."
Please suggest me on this.

Hi SidduSekhar,
Based on your description, I need to verify the things below:
Which browser did you use? Did this issue occur with all the browsers?
Is the cookie disabled in the browser? If yes, please enable it.
Did you implement security fix in the web.config, such as <httpCookies requireSSL="true" httpOnlyCookies="true" />? If yes, please set it to false in web.config.
Did you configure Alternate Access Mapping for SharePoint with a URL containing a “_” character? If yes, please remove the “_” from the URL.
