Forwarding PDF from Iphone creates an .DAT file for the recipient

Hello,
I received an email on my iPhone which contained a PDF. I forwarder this email to my assistant but when she got the PDF it was now a .DAT file.
Now, I figured out that she could just rename the file from .DAT to .PDF and it displayed ok. However, why is this happening? It's tedious to have to rename the file. And besides, you could never be sure it's a PDF to start with.
My assistant (and myself) as PC folks using Outlook.
Thanks,
Helen

More than likely the sender of the message is an Outlook user that uses RTF or HTML for message composition which is where this originates with attachments sent by an Outlook user that uses RTF or HTML for message composition when sent to a non-Outlook user - not shown with the received message on your iPhone, and this was forwarded with the received message and attachment.
Since this is an IMAP account, you can check the long message headers with the received message with Outlook on your computer to determine the email client used to send the message.

    how do I convert emails to PDF from Outlook to make a file on the PC

    It is always tough for anyone when we need to save our emails into one file for future reference. You could either do it manually or can use a simple tool to Convert all your messages into one pdf file . This Single pdf file can be used if we need to read any past email. you can easily convert oulook to pdf in no time. If you are converting several email messages, you can either save them as separate files with initial layout fully intact or combine them into one big PDF document.

  • Couldn't create a postscript file for the devnagri script from indesign

    Hi,
    Couldn't create the postscript file for the indesign devnagri script. Its throughing error saying offending fonts.
    I have added a link where u can download the rar file which contains indesign file and required fonts.
    http://wikisend.com/download/278714/Devnagri Script.rar

    @Raghugada – I tested with your new font (no license restriction) and could print to PostScript and distill to PDF without problems. Something else is wrong on your side. Could you provide an IDML file instead of the inDesign file? I will test this as well.
    And: How do you print to PostScript?
    Do you do it with the right PPD? The "Adobe PDF 9.0" ? (PPD => PostScript Printer Description File)
    Do you do it with the right setting in the print dialog of InDesign?
    PostScript Level 3, binary, all fonts fully embedded?

  • Proble while creating new Data Connection for the Webservice

    Hai All,
    when creating a new Data Conneciotn for the Webservice in the interactive form i got the following errror
    Cannot choose this operation:
    - there is no associated SOAP Binding
    edit -> new Data Connection -> WSDL -> i entered the wsdl url -> i got the methods in that webservice
    but when i select one of the method in the methods list i got above error
    i developed a webservice in NWDS and deployed the WAS ( created a webservice for the session bean)
    please help me to solve the problem
    Thanks in advance
    Siva Sankar N

    Problem was solved,
    Downloading the WSDLs:
    Download the 3 WSDL files from the WAS using the WS-navigator tool:
    Go to http://<was-host>:50000/wsnavigator/enterwsdl.html
    Select your WS
    Click in the menu “WSDLs”
    Download the default SAP WSDL
    You will have 3 WSDL files in the downloaded zip files.
    1) main.wsdl
    2)config1_XXXXVi_document.wsdl
    3_configl_document.wsdl
    Perform the follwing task to the above wsdl files, and use this wsdl files to the datasource
    1. Copy/paste the <wsdl:service> XML element from the main.wsdl to the Config1_SDN_adobeWSVi_document.wsdl.
    2. Copy the <wsdl:binding> XML element from the Config1_document.wsdl to the Config1_SDN_adobeWSVi_document.wsdl.
    3. Add the SOAP namespace (xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/") from the main.wsdl to the Config1_SDN_adobeWSVi_document.wsdl.
    4. Adjust the namespace reference by replacing “prt0” and “bns0” with “tns”.

  • Is there a way to create a commentary file for the summary screen?

    I am not seeing the summary screen in the list of commentary files in the \Development\include\commentary\en-CA\screen path. Is there a way to create a commentary for the summary screen?
    Thanks all.

    thanks Kristy,
    I'm not sure of the best way to add any requests we have for future releases.
    If there is one, let me know what is best.
    Here is what I want to add.
    In the properties file, one can set decision report preferences for an attribute - for invisible and silent.
    I wish we could also set preferences for bold, and given that, I guess it makes sense to be able to set preferences for italic and underline
    While these can be addressed through custom properties and XSLT, it obviously would be easier for the modeler to be able to select the attribute enhancement in the properties file. Given that decision reports can get very long, and there are attributes which might be better highlighted in some way, this would be a great approach.

  • Forwarding a PDF from iPhone produces a 0K file

    I have an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2.1) and ran across this problem other the last two weeks. If you attempt to forward a PDF file from email with 'include attachment' to another person, that person will receive the attachment as a 0K pdf file that is corrupted.
    I used the iPhone to forward a 785K PDF file to my Gmail and Live account and both received a 0K file. If I sign on to the email account with my laptop and forward the same 785K PDF to Gmail and Live, it arrives as a 785K file.
    Is this a known issue with the iOS and is there a known fix? I've seen people post about Stanza or iBooks possibly causing a problem, but I've already explored that route.

    After further testing it appears to be an issue between the iPhone and Yahoo, which I'm assuming is going to fall more on the shoulders of Yahoo because it never plays nice with iOS.
    When I forward using a Yahoo Mail account on iPhone the result is 0K.
    When I forward using a Gmail account on iPhone the result is 785K.
    I also tested using a Windows Live account and it worked fine. I guess I need to keep trying to convince my other iPhone user to dump Yahoo.

  • IPhone High Score Data File/Sort Oddities

    Hello all.
    I am working on an iPhone game which is nearly complete but I am having trouble with the following high score sort/write code. I am aiming to keep up to 10 scores, sorted from highest to lowest obviously.
    The code creates a new data file with the current score added as first entry if there is no existing data file (and this works), or it creates a data file with the current score as first entry if a data file exists but is empty for some reason (and this works as well), or it adds the current score to a data file of existing scores if it is within the top ten or there are less than ten entries (this is where it gets odd).
    If there is one existing score in the data file, the current score is added and sorted properly. If there are two scores in the data file, the application crashes BUT the data file shows the current score was correctly added and sorted to the existing scores. If there are three existing scores, the application crashes and the data file remains unchanged.
    I have been over the logic many times and tried many different variations of the logic structure to no avail. I suspect it is something simple but I've been staring at it too long to see. Any ideas?
    If there is a better way to display the code/formatting on the forum, please let me know. It doesn't look pretty this way and there must be a way to make it more readable here. I tried to manually format it some to help. The code follows (score variable is brought in from another class but works properly in my tests). At the end I have repeated an isolated snippet of the code where I think the problem occurs.
    *CODE START:*
    int i, ii;
    struct highscoreentry {
    NSString *name;
    int highScore;
    struct highscoreentry structArray(10);
    FILE *fin = fopen("highscore.dat", "rb");
    if (fin != NULL) { //if the data file exists proceed here
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (fscanf(fin, "%s %d\n", structArray(i).name, &structArray(i).highScore) != EOF) { //if data exists for this iteration proceed
    ii = i; //ii will be the last entry of existing data
    for (i = ii; i > -1; i--) { //will begin at last entry and work up the list of scores to sort
    if (score > structArray(i).highScore) { //if current score is higher than recoded score, recorded score moves down 1 place
    structArray(i + 1) = structArray(i);
    structArray(i).name = (NSString *)"JESSE";
    structArray(i).highScore = score;
    if (i == ii && ii < 9) //if there are less than 10 entries we will add another for our new entry
    ii = ii + 1;
    else if (score < structArray(i).highScore && i == ii) { //if current score is less than last recorded score it becomes new last entry
    structArray(i + 1).name = (NSString *)"JESSE";
    structArray(i + 1).highScore = score;
    if (ii < 9)
    ii = ii + 1;
    fclose(fin);
    if (fin == NULL) { //if the data file does not exist prepare data for new file
    ii = 0; //will be used to limit write iterations to this single new entry
    structArray(0).name = (NSString *)"JESSE";
    structArray(0).highScore = score;
    FILE *fout;
    fout = fopen("highscore.dat", "wb"); //should create/rewrite data file from scratch
    for (i = 0; i <= ii; i++) {
    fprintf(fout, "%s %d\n", structArray(i).name, structArray(i).highScore);
    fclose(fout);
    *CODE END*
    As far as I can tell by commenting out different portions of the code, the problem appears to be somewhere in here:
    *CODE START:*
    if (fin != NULL) { //if the data file exists proceed here
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if (fscanf(fin, "%s %d\n", structArray(i).name, &structArray(i).highScore) != EOF) { //if data exists for this iteration proceed
    *CODE END*
    ...but it baffles me that this works with one structure in the data file, crashes with two structures in the data file but correctly processes/sorts them and writes the file properly, and crashes with three structures in the data file without doing any additional work.

    Actually I've found online material to be adequately, and sometimes more than adequately, elucidating in learning the language. When I decided to take a stab at this I spent about 40 hours of my spare time the first week reading 2 or 3 different "takes" on the C/C++/Objective C language in addition to Apple's docs on their implementation along with the iPhone SDK. As I mentioned, I've thus far found the language quite clear and concise. I began my application the second week and this is the first time in 7 weeks of coding where I've felt the need to ask assistance. Every other problem I've solved, leaving no errors, warnings or leaks in my software and accomplishing every task I've set to this point.
    I find reading several different "takes" on a subject helps fill out an understanding from different perspectives. In this case, one perspective might lead the reader to believe or misunderstand the full use/context of a particular syntax, while reading from multiple sources can show the same syntax used in different contexts, broadening the understanding of its use, and that understanding can be user further to interpolate uses in a variety of situations.
    I am new to C/C++/Objective C and the iPhone SDK, but I am not new to programming. It may have been some time (other than hand-coding my website the last few years) and my language experience may be limited to BASIC, HTML, PHP and Javascript, but from my view learning a new language is relatively easy once you know one...even if it is BASIC. The general logic structure remains the same. The overall software design concept remans essentially the same. Both are going to use variables, arrays, subroutines, memory allocation/management, input and output of data, runtime logic, etc. I am 80-90% sure I know exactly how I want to attack a coding problem every time...I just need to know how to "say it in C".
    I don't remember when I first started coding, but I know by age 7 I wrote a karaoke style "Happy Birthday" for my great aunt with music playing through a Commodore 16 via "beeps" figuring the particular vibrations per second of the speaker (the hertz values) and durations for each note in time and pitch perfectly along with "lyrics" printed to screen with the music. To me, learning C is like learning a new foreign language. I took 2 years of French in high school and had to study at it but aced it nonetheless. I then opted to take Spanish but after a semester I opted to stop because the pacing was too slow. Learning Spanish after learning French was a piece of cake. They are in the same general language family and the syntax construction is very similar. I only needed the raw data of the words to fit to the rules I already knew. I didn't need to learn the same rules a second time.
    The C/Objective C language seems no more complicated than it need be, which is to say it seems simple in doing what it needs to do and I am impressed with that simplicity thus far. I am also impressed with Apple's implementation with regard to the iPhone. Being able to provide music via 4-5 lines of code using AVAudioPlayer is transcendental compared to "beeping" every note monophonically.
    Apple's explanations are very clear and concise. It is just, sometimes their examples are sparse or too narrow in scope to get a rounded context. However, their docs are very good and there is a wealth of information here on the net. My biggest complaint with Apple's docs really stems from the fact they seem to want to shove Interface Builder at everything and provide the code to do so but leave the reader stranded if the reader would rather stay within XCode exclusively and do more programmatically rather than leave that much "behind the curtain" work to Interface Builder...but it is a minor complaint.
    On pointers...I do understand the use of pointers, perhaps not to the nth degree as I am just starting out, but the concept makes sense to me. I understand they are not "content" but a memory address location of the "content". I also understand why pointing to a location which is undefined or unprotected is damaging to whatever may be in that location already and to the data being pointed since it can be inadvertently overwritten my some other memory using item.
    {quote}No. The (i < 9) condition is critical. Writing to structArray[10] will crash, since structArray[9] is the end of the array. In practice such a crash might not happen right away, though. If our program's data allocation actually ended at the end of the array, the crash would be immediate. But what usually happens when we write past the end of an array is that the beginning of some other data is overwritten.{quote}
    I need to slap my forehead on this one. I know better than that. I don't know why I missed that. Too many late nights I suppose.
    {quote}(NSString*) is called a type cast in that context.{quote}
    Yes, which is why I used it to deal with the incompatible type error I thought I had at that point, but I shouldn't have assumed by appeasing the compiler I was necessarily solving the problem.
    {quote} The best I can do for now is to caution that an enquiring mind, like all virtues, can be taken too far. I think it's important to compromise and copy good models sometimes. This isn't just to avoid reinventing the wheel. Sometimes it's good to remember we only have a limited time on Earth.{quote}
    Agreed...and I don't expect to understand every nuance the first time around. I expect to at least understand how each successful line of code works in its context, but I imagine some processes will take a few times through before it "clicks" how it works in a greater context than its own, and I am all right with that. I also understand deadlines are deadlines whether they be software development or otherwise and a broad eye needs to be kept to remaining on the track forward.
    Anyway, off to my day job.
    Thank you again...I began reading up on NSDictionary and NSUserDefaults last night. Will post soon.

  • Outlook 2010 - Cannot Add or Create a Data File

    I am trying to Add both an existing Data File (.pst) into Outlook to review the emails, and add a New Email Account with a separate Data File from the Default Outlook.pst File.
    Setup is Windows 7 Pro x64 - Office 2010 Standard
    I already have 5 Email Accounts setup, each with their own Data File, so this did work in the beginning.
    I have tried opening Account Settings/Data Files, clicking on 'Add' and get this error - "An unknown error occurred, error code 0x80070003"
    When I add a New Email Account and leave the 'New Outlook Data File' selection checked for the 'Deliver new messages to:' option I get the same above error.
    When I add a New Email Account and select 'Existing Outlook Data File' for the 'Deliver new messages to:' option and click on the 'Browse' button nothing happens.  I can add the path though in the field and that will create the New Account using that
    Data File.
    Last related issue is if I want to change the Data File for an Existing Account to a New Outlook Data File.  I open Account Settings/Email, Click on an existing account, click on the 'Change Folder' button, then click the 'New Outlook Data File' button
    and nothing happens.

  • How to create an XML File for Gantt?

    Hi Everybody.

    Did Anyone know how can i create a XML File for the Gantt at runtime?
    Thanks

    Hi Marcus,
    the following link is to the JNet/JGantt developer doco
    [JNet/JGantt Developer Documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/lw/uuid/f010ec31-9658-2910-3c83-c6e62904eceb]
    included in this is the:

    You can use this to build XML to represent a gantt like chart.
    I did this to build XML to represent employee avaliablity - although we fronted the gantt through WD Java not ABAP - the java applet called is the same (I believe).
    Don't underestimate the work required to tweek your data into a decent layout. It took me days.
    There may be tools/api to help generate the XML - I don't know of them - I'd look forward to seeing any other replies to this thread from people who have used/built any.  An example of a class that generates JNet XML - CL_SPI_UI_JNET - but this does not seem to be a Gantt display.
    Cheers,

  • Is there a way to create a .dmg file for a DVD inserted into the system

    I am wondering if Snow Leopard has integrated any tools that can create a .dmg file for the CD or DVD inserted into the system?
    If not, any recommendations for freeware 3rd party tools? Thanks

    Insert the disc you want to create the .dmg from, then choose the disc in the left hand pane of Disk Utility. From the File menu, choose New > Disk Image from (name of disc).
    EDIT: This is basically how it's done; however, there may be other steps involved, depending on the type of disc you're trying to copy and what your goals are with the .dmg. If you provide more details about what you're trying to achieve, maybe we can help you further.

  • Reinstall or Rebuild Data File for Calendar App

    My Calendar app will not accept the Time Zone change I designated. I have tried just about everything else to correct the problem. No other apps of system prefs are affected. It seems to be isolated to Calendar.
    Doesn't the Date and Time setting govern the Time Zone setting in the Calendar app? If so, the Calendar app is not reflecting this.
    Is there a way to rebuild the data file for the Calendar or to reinstall it?

    Same issue here.  Found the application but not the saved file.  When I used to do this on a PC, it was all in the same folder and file extension was .tax.  Easy to find them all.
    For some reason, this year, TurboTax cannot find the file on my Macbook.  I do not recall moving these files off my Mac so it should have 2009 and 2010 on here but all I found is the actual application, not the data file. 
    Any suggestions? It's got to be on here, just filed away in one of those weird mac file structures.

  • How do I move data files from old iPhone? Specifically, the password files for the App mSecure from my old iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4S?

    How do I move data files for mSecure (a password saver app) from old iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S?

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.
