Export to word - that old chestnut.

Hey all,
I imported a word document to pages, changed it with tracking enabled, saved it as .pages then exported it as .doc
Now the people that I needed to read it can't. I have two (non computer literate) PC users on the line with MS Office. I sent them the file - apparently it gets halfway through loading then hangs. I've tried on Mac MS Office and it works fine (the only reason I opened it in pages in the first place is because of Microslag's slow-*** adoption of Universal Binary - it often doesn't open at all for me). I've tried various ideas - saving again from office etc. to no avail.
Anyone know why this isn't working?

today I have burnt photos to CD or DVD and after each
time, iphoto has failed to load so I have had to
resort to rebuilding the library and on each occasion
this has taken many attempts.
This just happened to me. My iphoto 4.03 library became corrupted after burning a cd for second half of my entire library (total 2700 photos). After burning a CD, I noticed that the CD came up in the iphoto album/library view as a library and iphoto used it when I went to view my recent photos as if it were the main library. I should have noticed something was weird!
After exiting iphoto and later restarting it, iphoto took a long time to load photos and then said it had recovered some photos. After a lot of time trying to figure what happened I noticed that these recovered photos where the entire first half of my iphoto library which wasn't burnt to cd!
Upon each iphoto restart, it would go through the recovered photos again making a new Recovered_photos album each time. And again, and again.
I rebuilt the Library which fixed the repeated recovery problem, but I lost all roll info.

Iphoto 4.03 failing to start - that old chestnut!

I have had the common problem whereby I tried to start iphoto, only to be faced with the 1st page and loading pictures message, but no photos.
Old Toad and Brie Fly have both suggested alternative solutions on a number of occasions both of which I have used succesfully. What puzzles me is that twice today I have burnt photos to CD or DVD and after each time, iphoto has failed to load so I have had to resort to rebuilding the library and on each occasion this has taken many attempts. Does anyone know why after burning CDs it may do this?

That old chestnut: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** clogging the debug trace

Hi,
I am attempting to debug a project for Flash Mobile and getting very irritated by *** Security Sandbox Violation *** warnings whenever I move, touch or interact with the application in any way whatsoever. These typically fire two or three _PAGES_ of warnings for a simple drag operation... Because there are so many of these warnings, the debug trace is effectively redundant and useless unless I actively insert a manual break point immediately after the traces I want to view - fine for a comms operation, not so useful when attempting to debug coordinates for a drag operation.
The cause, obviously, is that I have loaded external content for display in a SWFLoader component...
Because I am in AIR for mobile, I cannot access Security to allow the domain and crossdomain from the content provider is ignored or not loaded.
I have found a number of references to this ranging from very recent to several years ago, such as this one which indicates a) the trace is a bug and b) something was being done about it: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/576999
I cannot find any reference to a fix ever being implemented and the trace issue is driving me nuts.
Please, please, please can somebody direct me to a workaround to hide this? I've tried all kinds of disabling for mouse events, keyboard events, mouse children etc.
Thanks,

That old chestnut: Swing Threading - EventQueue

First of all, I'm sorry if this topic has been done to death already but I really have searched through the forums and tutorials and not found a solution that I can get to work.
Scenario (the usual):
- Swing GUI application
- Button fires off 'IntensiveProcess'
- Display a 'MessageBox' while 'IntensiveProcess' is running
Problem:
MessageBox is not displayed (or is displayed but its contents are not painted - depending on which [incorrect] implementation I try) until IntensiveProcess has finished.
I have tried all kinds of different ways of accomplishing this but I can't for the life of me get it to work:
The implementations I have tried involved various combinations of:
- EventQueue.invokeLater()
- EventQueue.invokeAndWait()
- inner and annonymous-inner Runnable classes
As far as I understand it, the following strategy should work:
public class MySwingApp extends JFrame
    //create button with Action: DoButtonAction
    private class DoButtonAction extends AbstractAction
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            // ~~~ IMPLEMENTAION 1 ~~~
            EventQueue.invokeLater(new ShowMessageBox());
            EventQueue.invokeLater(new IntensiveProcess());
            // ~~~ IMPLEMENTAION 2 ~~~
            EventQueue.invokeLater(new ShowMessageBox());
            //cannot call invokeAndWait() from Event Dispatcher thread so:
            (new Thread(new Runnable()
                public void run()
                    EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new IntensiveProcess());
            )).start();
            // ~~~ IMPLEMENTAION 3 ~~~
            EventQueue.invokeLater(new IntensiveProcess());
            //cannot call invokeAndWait() from Event Dispatcher thread so:
            (new Thread(new Runnable()
                public void run()
                    EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new ShowMessageBox());
            )).start();
            //dispose of message box if user didn't close it
    private class ShowMessageBox implements Runnable
        //display MessageBox...
    private class IntensiveProcess implements Runnable
        //execute intensive process...
}None of the above 3 implementations yield the correct result.
Can anyone please point out where I'm going wrong?
Thanks all.

I have implemented your suggestion but sadly I am
getting the same result: the entire GUI hangs until
IntensiveProcess has completed, and only then is the
message box displayed.Hmm, with the intenstive process in its own thread (construct() runs in a thread other than EDT) the GUI shouldn't hang like that, I'm not sure why that is. Maybe try invokeAndWait instead. Or, did you try displaying the message box before creating the SwingWorker? Make sure the message box is not modal if you create it before creating SwingWorker.
I can't grasp why the EventDispatcher thread is
getting tied up with IntensiveProcess. I thought
calling EventQueue.invokeLater() (or SwingWorker) is
supposed allow the executing thread (in my case the
EventDispatcher thread) to continue. So why is the
GUI not getting updated and the message box being
displayed until AFTER IntensiveProcess finishes?As I understand it, invokeLater means stuff this Runnable into the event queue and run it when its turn comes up, while invokeAndWait runs the Runnable immediately. Neither method will wait for another thread to finish like you're expecting, that's what SwingWorker does.
For some background info, the SwingWorker's construct() method creates a new non-EDT thread, which is where you're supposed to do time-intensive background work, and the code inside the finished() method will be run in the EDT, which is where you're supposed to update Swing components. The major benefit is the happens-before guarantee, construct() will run to completion before finished() is invoked. Maybe you already knew that, but it's important to know so I wanted to make sure.

Credit card update issues.....that old chestnut :(

I have been trying to update my credit card details via Adobe.com but to no avail. There is NO LINK......no edit details ...nothing!! I sign in using the correct info and navigate to my products and services > scroll to my subscriptions and the only clickable text is 'manage'. So I go ahead and click away and it takes me to Subscription details where it tells me my photoshop/ Illustrator subscription is processing and in red text tells me to go update my credit card details as my card is expired. I would if I could and have tried for the past few days. There is no 'edit billing' link to click. I have been on the phone with customer service for the woman to tell me 'try again in a few days there is nothing I can do.' I have sat on the online customer service for what seems like forever for it to keep popping up and telling me I have one person ahead of me and it may take 2mins and 47 sec to get to a service person. Longest 2mins 47sec I have ever experienced.
Adobe all I want to do is update my card details so I can pay you money to use your unreal software...it cant be that hard can it???
Please tell how me I can do this before my products cease to work!

Hi Purpledragaon,
I'll report the Edit Billing option being missing for you. I'm sorry for the inconvienence.

Might be better to post this in the Acrobat or Indesign forums.

What can I do to speed up uploading a pdf file that needs to be exported into Word?

I have been trying to upload a 1 page pdf file for exportation into Word for the last couple of days. Every time I try to upload it into Adobe ExportPDF, the file just shows that it is still uploading and it does this for several hours (isn't finished after 12 hours).
I uploaded a much larger pdf document earlier this week (over 64 pages) for editing and it uploaded that book fairly quickly and converted it into Word without any problems.
Any suggestions on what the problem might be or what I could do to speed things up? I only need to be able to edit a couple of words near the top of the page.

How large is the file? The size in pages is not important, what matters is the size in megabytes and your broadband speed.

I updated safari to 7.0.3 and pages to 5.2 and can no longer attached files in gmail that are pages or exported to word. Any suggestions?

I updated safari to 7.0.3 and pages to 5.2 and can no longer attached files in gmail that are pages or exported to word. Any suggestions?

I have a similar issue.
After updating Pages to 5.2, all Word export documents are 10 times the size they'd normally be.
A normal exported .DOC file that would have been under 200K, is now 1.7MB once exported. !!! ???
This is a major issue with Pages.

I have paid for a year subscription, but all the PDF's I attempt to export to Word give me a "Conversion Error" message, citing that the "file's security settings do not allow export." I want a refund. Adobe, please advise. Thank you.

Hi la recruiter,
There are a few types of files that Acrobat can't convert--and PDF files with security applied is one on them. I'm happy to cancel your subscription, if you decide that it's not going to work out for you. Please confirm that you'd like me to proceed with the cancelation, and I'll take care of it right away.
Best,

Pages export corrupts word doc how can I fix this glitch?

In Pages, when I Share and Export the Pages doc to a Word doc and open the Word doc it is corrupted - showing up copy from an older document. The same copy shows up every time. It looks faded out on each page and the actual copy from the Pages document shows up. This happens every time I export to Word and open the Word doc. Does anyone know how to fix this glitch?

A glitch I haven't heard about before. Are you sure that you are not opening the old doc every time and have saved the new some where else on the computer?

Crystal Report error exporting to Word

My company recently deployed a Microsoft Security Patch to our workstations that's causing a problem with Crystal Reports. When exporting a Crystal report to a Word file (from a VB 6 application) the following error is generated when opening the file: "You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting."
My company uses Crystal Reports v 8.0.1.0. Is there a more recent release that provides a fix for this error?
Thanks.

Edited by: David Verbinski on Nov 5, 2008 10:35 PM

I know 100mb works because I have created word document reports with that size before using the crystal export. Just really big reports. I'm not sure on the exact size because it doesnu2019t work but I know there is more data in the report than the 100MB report which works so it doesnu2019t work on some reports larger than that (don't know the specific size because it doesnu2019t work) sorry for being redundant.
Not sure about a size limitation on an RTF formatted document that is saved as a *.doc (word document).
It's my understanding that exporting to a .doc is the same as exporting to .rtf because the .doc is in .rtf format. I may be wrong but if you change a .rtf extension to a .doc extension, you get the same thing when opening the file in word.
When exporting to RTF format I get the same error, so I believe they are using the same or similar process.
Yes I tried on other machines and different servers and the error only occurs when exporting large documents to word. Small documents work fine.
If there are file constraints in exporting to word, I believe a more distinct error message could be displayed related to the specific error.
No I did not upgrade my pc or software, I developed the report and am running specificly for 11.5 release 2 with service pace 3 installed.
Thanks,

Export to Word RTF - Page Server error when over 160 pages exported

We have XIR2 SP2
We have a Crystal report published into this Enterprise which, when all parameters are widened, runs to 190 pages.
The resultant report includes tables
We can export to PDF but the client requires it in Word RTF
We can export to Word RTF Editable - and all 190 pages are produced in the resulting file, but of course the tables are omitted and the result is messy.
So, we need to export to Word RTF where the format is neat and includes the tables.
However, when we try and export more than 160 pages to Word RTF, we receive the following error.
CrystalReportViewer
handleCrystalEvent failed
Unable to retrieve Object.
The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.
We have a duplicate environment with an identical configuration, standing by as a failover environment and which points to the same data.This produces the same error, so we don't think it's an installation corruption or failure.
The page server is set to a maximum of 2,000,000 rows, the cache server at 256000 maximum.

Hi Tony F,
Many thanks for coming back on this one. Both Enterprise servers are identical in BO config, Windows 2003 server, but different in hardware.
One has 4 proc and one has 2, one has twice the memory of the other, yet both fail at over 161 pages. Both have their boCMS db's on different servers, both derive the data from different servers.
IIS is the web server. The only common denominator is the actual installation software itself and the person who installed it (me).
On Friday, instead of running the reports in Enterprise/Preview or Infoview (both exhibit the problem) I switched from our default activeX to DHTML, and advanced DHTML. No improvement (Our report wouldn't work with Java, which we never use)
On the suggestion of the SAP/BO support girl, I then SCHEDULED the report for immediate running and chose WordRTF as the format. This works fine.
So on that evidence I suspect a software glitch that is specific to using Infoview to open the report rather than schedule it - the two processes must access the WordRTF translator in different ways.
I'm hoping there is a patch or hotfix that can solve it. Sadly, our users don't have the appetite for the few extra clicks to use the workaround so we're going to have to pursue it with BO unless the forum comes up with an answer - perhaps its something I didn't do properly on installation, or a CMC/CMS setting. We've got 2m row limit on the page server but the report's row count is nothing like that and, anyway, it works if scheduled.
I'm really grateful to you for taking the time to reply, I hope the above answers your question - if I had hair to pull out, I'd be doing just that!
Kind regards
Tony W

Export to WORD - what's with these boxes around the text?

Post Author: Emily
CA Forum: Exporting
I am new to CR. I am using version 10.0.0.533 We use CR with ClearQuest for problem reporting and other data collection.
Rational (ClearQuest Vendor) tells me it's a CR X problem.
I use a CR report exported to MS WORD as a template for taking meeting minutes. With our old CR version, the ClearQuest export was great and I was able to add text into the report. With CR X, the report in MS WORD comes out in text boxes and editting this output is not pretty. I do not want the boxes, I just want free flowing text as if I had written a WORD doc so I can edit it easily during the meetings. I have tried export to text, copy, paste but I loose all of the formatting. I have tried HTML and then copy, paste, but this is even worse than the text output. RTF also has the text in boxes.
Someone out there MUST have run into this problem also. Help me...

Export to Word loses tab setting

Post Author: HmCody
CA Forum: .NET
I am very new to Crystal Reports with VS.net and have run into a problem that I hope isn't a bug.
I am creating a report that needs to be able to be exported to Word (it gets sent to the printer for inclusion in a program). Several of the text objects are formatted with right tabs set at the right edge of the object. Everything lines up perfectly when the report is viewed in the Report viewer and when I export to a pdf, but when I export to Word the right tabs are converted to left tabs and the text aligned to them is out of view.
Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and if there is a way to fix it?
Thanks for your help.

Export to Word, Text does not appear in Word document

I have created a document in Pages which needs a table as part of it. I need to convert it to Word for work but when I use the Export to Word function it creates the Word Doc file but the table is blank - no text in the table at all? (Other text outside of the table is created).
Apart from that the formatting is not as it should be and some text (outside of the table) is incorrectly placed on the Doc file.
My fall back up to now has been to export to pdf (which works perfectly) and email that, but that stops it being edited at work.
Where should I be looking to make sure the text in the table in pages is exported to the Word document?
Or amn I expecting too much?
I am using a retina iMac, Yosemite OSX. Thanks.

Pages v5 (any version) is none of the following:
Word clone
Predictable
Professional/business grade software
Complete
Entirely debugged
Thoroughly documented
Many have, and continue to report export problems with Pages v5. Since we cannot peer over your shoulder as you enter text in a table, or if you tried to make the table behave as if in MS Word, the best bet would be to drop Pages entirely and use MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 (update 14.4.7 or later). Then you will be able to stop gambling with document conversion, work in the native Word .docx format, and recover some lost productivity. Word, not Apple's Pages, is the corporate word processing standard — for a reason.

Export to word - that old chestnut.
