Excel Preview App: Shortcut

Question: How can I create a shortcut on desktop to Excel Preview App? My wife missed it. As temporary solution I pinned it to the taskbar. This may be interesting for other apps too.

Did you try command-P

Excel Preview App: Sign-In line

When I tested the Excel Preview App I noticed a line on top that says "Sign in to get more functions" (translated back from german). This comes back on every start. How can I disable it? - So noone can say I didn't shared my feedback about this.

I'm having the same problem. This seems to affect my files when they go through the "PDF Presentation..." automation.

Excel Web App gives 404 when using Sharepoint's Interactive Preview mode

I'm trying to open the Office Web apps in Sharepoint's Interactive Preview mode.
This works like a charm for, for example, Word and Powerpoint.
However, upon opening an Excel file, the officeapps.live.com returns a 404 not found.
Google hasn't been very helpful to me for this issue, is there anyone who has experienced a similar problem?
Data from Chrome's devtools: "GET https ://euc-excel.officeapps.live.com/x/_layouts/xlpreview.aspx?wdRepost=(..) 404 (Not Found)"
and Telerik's Fiddler:
This gives the 404: "GET /x/_layouts/xlpreview.aspx?wdRepost=1&access_token=e(..)"
However, it's referred to by another Excel preview link which gives a 200 status:
"GET /x/_layouts/xlpreview.aspx?ui=en&rs=en&WOPISrc=(..)"
I hope anyone can help me out on this matter ! :-)
Kind regards,

How can I get next button in preview app

Hi,
How can I use next button in preview app. Means in one folder I have 10 photos and I want to open each photo to view in preview app. Or any other options to use the next button , plz help
Yas

If you open all 10 at once in Preview, they will open together and there will be a filmstrip along the side for navigation.
Or, if you select all 10 in the Finder and simply open QuickLook (File/QuickLook or press spacebar shortcut), you will see Previous/Next buttons in the top left corner without having to open any programs.

Preview.app can't constrain selections/cropping to a square anymore?

Apparently Preview.app can't constrain selections/cropping to a square anymore (with the shift key). Now I have to open Photoshop to do something I used to do in Preview? Why would they take this out?
Say it isn't so!

I am missing this feature too, or maybe there is a shortcut I don't know of?
I am used to draw a smaller rectangle with the same proportions by starting from a corner point and then move that rectangle around to get the best result. When everything is fine pressing cmd+K crops the image.
This isn't possible now, but someone my have a good advice?

Can't Open iBookm Preview, App Store and other apps after upgrading to mavericks. PELASE HELP!

Well,
I Can't open several apps, as for example, iBooks, Preview, or App Store!
I can't read pdf's or open books, cant's see images or anything that uses preview app.
Can't go to App Store to look for any available update.
Please help!

First attempt a clean install...
http://mashable.com/2013/10/23/clean-install-os-x-mavericks/
If this doesn't work, which it didn't in my case, then download
Pacifist.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
You will need a copy of the Maverick installer.
Use Pacificst to " Open Apple Intallers"
The go to Contents of Mavericks->Contents of EssentialSystemSoftware->Contents of Essentials.pkg->Applications
Then Click on the programs that don't seem to be working and insall. This helped me update certain applications that weren't working such as App Store, Font Book, Mail, and any others.

Preview.App does not find text in pure text pdf works in other PDF viewers

Hi I am using reportlab an open source python based pdf generating package to generate pdf reports.
The generated pdfs are searchable using Adobe acrobat and Google -Gmails built in pdf viewer . However in Preview.App the text seems to be only recognized as individual characters . For eg the text "hello world" will not match hello or world , but typing just h into the search bar will show up matched text as "h el l o" . So although visibly the text appears as a single word , semantically the words just seem to be composed of one or two characters.
Only Preview.App seems to have a problem with the generated pdf. Adobe Acrobat ( Mac and Windows) , Google-Gmail pdf-view , Evince-Gnome-PDF viewer ( Linux) dont have any problem with finding the text in the PDF documents generated.
I have a thread in the reportlab user forum discussing the issue (see http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-August/008643.html). ANd the problem definitely seems to be with Preview.App . The pdf (sample see example text in corner) is available at this url ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/code-itch/searchtext.pdf)
The app is targeted at scientist Mac users . And I want to have the pdf reports searchable and indexed by spotlight , so getting this working is very important for me.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Hari

The posts on the reportlab newsgroup suggest that
"> If the preview is actually rendering the pdf and then searching, the 0
degrees case should be searchable. If that's the way the search is happening
then it's no surprise that the search should fail if the rendered letters
are at 90deg." -Robin Becker
Test cases show that search fails completely at rotations of 90 , succeed partially at rotations of 45, succeed fully at rotations of 0.
So , is there a way to prevent Preview from only searching the final rendered PDF. The pdf I am complaining about are searched fine in the many other PDF readers I tested that probably handle search differently.

Preview app: Add text annotation with left justify?

I'm using the Preview app to insert text into some PDF files. I can use the Annotate feature to create a text box in the area I need it and adjust the font, color, size, etc. The only thing I can't seem to do is set the justification to Left Justify. It will show text as center justify - anyone know how to change this?

I can find out what the defaults are with:
defaults read com.apple.preview
There are many properties but a TextAligment property is not one of them.
I tried below but they do not work.
defaults write com.apple.preview NSTextAlignment 0
defaults write com.apple.preview PVAnnotationTextAlignment 0
NB: 0 means left alignment
Any idea?
Maybe Apple has to create an text alignment feature for the GUI or provide the property that we can set it from Terminal.

Excel web app Review tab with SharePoint 2013

Is there a way to get the review tab to show up in Excel web app with SharePoint 2013 on-prem? Users want to be able to use the "add comments" feature while in the excel web app.

Hi,
That functionality isn't available in Excel Web App on-premise. I just applied the Oct 2014 CU to WAC and do not have it, so the feature just hasn't made it down yet.
You can use the "add comments" tab in excel client.
Here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

My App Store App, Preview App and a few others won't open!

Recently, my App Store App, the Preview App, Calendar App, Pages & Numbers Apps, to name a few just wont open and run. Even the Mail App, albeit opens, but wont run properly.
Ive remember seeing someone with the same problem, but im unable to findthe link again for how it was resolved.
Ultimately i could reinstall Snow Leopard again from my current copy of Mavericks (As i believe is the problem), however it would mean a complete fresh copy. If i did this, is it straight forward to copy all my info on Time machine back over onto the new system? Or more importantly, will Time Machine overwright & copy the corrupt copies that currently reside on my Mac?
Any advice or options to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thx

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Preview app not working in Leopard

Hi pals,
I have just upgraded my Macbook (Tiger) to Leopard and updated with all necessary patches (10.5.2), but i am not able to launch preview which resulted in not able to launch all pictures and pdfs. When i double click on Preview (through Appln > Preview.app) the icon comes out and go immediately! Is there anywhere i can download preview from apple's site??? How do i repair it?
Please help!!
Thanks pals

Unfortunately, yes it is a clue. The nib file in question is here:
"/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib"
As you can see, it is buried deep inside the application, that particular nib file is the programming stuff that tells Preview how to draw its menu. If that is broken, obviously the program can't run. And if that is broken, one wonders what else may be wrong. You really need the Leopard install disk so you can get an unbroken version of the program. Meantime, you can try other programs to look at things. For instance, almost anything will open a jpeg, including your browser. The browser will also open lots of other graphics, such as gifs and pngs. You can open PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download from Adobe), or even QuickTime Player (believe it or not). Indeed, QT Player will also open pretty much any graphic file, including Photoshop files. I suspect you can use it to view pretty much anything that Preview will open.

Printing a zoomed view in Preview.app

How do you print a zoomed in view from Preview. In Adobe there is a choice to print current view. I cant figure out how in Preview.app.

You can select an area, crop to it and print that. If you do not want save the crop, do not save the file after you print.

Is there any way to get the PivotTable Field List to appear in an embedded Excel Web Apps spreadsheet?

The PivotTable Field List shows up fine when using Excel Web Apps normally. It doesn't appear to be accesible via the javascript API and the main
Excel Web App cannot be embeded in a frame. Any ideas?

Preview.app increases PDF file size.

When making changes to a PDF (in my case, creating annotations), Preview.app will increase the file size of a PDF if that PDF was run through Acrobat Pro's "Reduce File Size" process. For example, I have a PDF that I created using a Book2Net book scanner. I then used Acrobat Pro 10 to OCR the file, then ran Reduce File size which shrank the file size from almost 1.6gb down to about 62mb. If I use Preview.app to make an annotation and then save the file, Preview.app will inflate the file back up to 1.6gb.
An earlier thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1478588?start=0&tstart=0) also discusses a similar issue. I'm not sure if those folks were also working with PDFs that were reduced in size by Acrobat Pro or not.
Anyone else have this issue?
10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.

That is not normal. same action with acrobat and skim do not do this. Changing file size from 170mb to 780mb (my case) should not be expected.
Preview re-formats the file (which takes a while the first "save"). It may even make scrolling and searching for text faster, but is not desirable all the time.
There is NO explanation from Apple in help or online. Keeping things simple is one thing, having unexpected and unexplained behavior is another.
Last preview update made it pretty much useless for annotations anyways.
Choosing "text" annotation used to allow for clicking anywhere on the pdf and start typing. Now, it automatically creates a text box at the center of page that has to be the dragged (and make sure not dragging other annotations with it). click T multiple times, multiple text boxes on top of each other.
I never thought I would look at Windows users with jealousy. What a bad job they are doing.
