Grouping open documents in dock?
I work with a lot of open Pages documents at any given time, so my dock bar gets pretty cramped. Especially when I've got other apps open. Is there a way to group all the open Pages files that are in the dock, into one stack? Thanks friends.
In System Preferences > Dock, check the box to minimize documents into the application icon. You can right-click on the application icon in the Dock to see & choose the open document you want.

In Yosemite, how to keep all documents in Dock from popping up when one is opened
If I have several Illustrator documents in the dock, and open one of them, they all pop up. Is there a way to prevent this?
[Moved from the generic Cloud forum to the specific Program forum... Mod]The same happens in Mac OS 10.8.5.

It seems turning OFF "Open Documents as Tabs" in "Prefs>User Interface" fixes the problem for me. -
Script to copy Layer/Group to another Open Document?
Hi, I know this topic has been covered many times before. But to clarify, here's what I'm wondering:
Copy the active layer/group to another open document in Photoshop. The simple way is to go to "Layer/Duplicate Layer..." . But this is very tedious. For starters, when you choose that method, and then select the document that you'd like to copy to via the pull-down menu, it successfully copies the layer/group to that document, but it doesn't auto-switch (activate) to the document it was just copied to. You have to hit "Ok", and then manually search through the open documents list via (Window/*choose your document*) to get there. This is a nightmare when you're trying to do this many times.
Here is what I am wondering:
Is it possible to:
a) copy the active layer/group to the clipboard/memory
b) switch to another existing document in Photoshop *via a custom menu* which shows all existing documents
c) once switched to the new existing document, paste that layer/group from the clipboard into that document
..is that possible?
At the very least, are there any scripts that anyone knows of that allows the user to switch between existing documents via a custom menu instead of going to Window/*choose your document* ?This might help with Groups and some other kinds of Layers.
But it takes the easy route with the target file by using the name to identify it.

Opening Documents in Word Crashes the Server
I posted this in the "Using OS X" forum, since I didn't believe the problem to be OS X Server-specific, but haven't received any response at all. So If no one objects, I'm going to give it a try here:
I'm running OSX Server 10.4.11 (none of the other workstations are affected, so my assumption has been that this isn't a problem with the server software itself) on a MacPro 2 x 2.6GHz with 4GB of RAM.
Here's the problem. Whenever I open Word (11.3.8) or Excel (11.3.7) and try to open a document (whether by selecting Open from the File menu, clicking on the button in the toolbar, or simply starting the application up from scratch), instead of the lovely Open Dialogue popping up, I get the Spinning Ball of Doom. Then the entire system hangs—I can click on other visible applications and the menu bar changes, but those apps are hung too; I can't access any of the menus, the Dock is inaccessible, and attempting to force quit from the keyboard does nothing. And, of course, because this is the server for our small office network, the entire network comes crashing down.
I've reinstalled Office. I trashed the preference and cache files (though the problem pops up no matter what user or group I'm logged in on—and it doesn't affect any of the workstations other than the server, so I don't think it's a preferences problem; still, better safe than sorry). I ran Disk Utility and fixed permissions. No go. Help!
Again, I am fairly sure that this has something to do with Office's proprietary Open dialogue box, because I can fire up Word and—if I've done so by double-clicking on a document in the Finder rather then on the application icon—edit and even save. I can open documents in non-MS applications just fine. (And, as I said, I can open and save Office documents on the other computers on the network.) But open a doc in Word or Excel (or, presumably, PowerPoint), and boom—everything comes crashing down.
ETA: I am able to open the Office Project Launcher application with no problems. So I'm really stumped.
Anyone have any ideas???So, an update of sorts.
Turns out it's not a total hang—if I leave the ball spinning (for 30+ minutes), the open dialogue finally pops up... but it's in an empty home folder.
We seem to have some sort of corruption of the home folder file hierarchy (there's an odd folder called "99" that appeared on the root of the server's main drive—I can't get access to it, and I don't want to monkey with the permissions until I can figure out what it is) that dates from the same time that our problem popped up. The only thing that I can think of that I changed at around that time was to add a new group home folder. Might I have mucked up the file system? (Shouldn't be that easy, should it? But hey, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!)
Any thoughts or suggestions? Could the problems (the phantom folder and the spinning ball of almost-doom) be related? Or am I simply dealing with a pair of peculiarities that are unrelated, or that are both symptoms of yet another problem, rather than cause and effect?
Thanks to everyone who's chimed in so far for you input!
But, to reiterate, help! -
Can't open documents some as recent as yesterday. "you will need a newer version of Pages...you can upgrade from the app store" The app store indicates i have the current version, upgrade not appropriate. A relatively new problem.
You have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications. -
Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?
Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3. But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01. So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac. Weird...

First time user. Need help. I downloaded latest version of Pages 5.0 and have been using it. Now, when I try to open documents created by it, I'm advised that I have to downoad Pages 5.0. What's going on?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

Unable to open document. Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.
System:
Adobe Acrobat X Pro, 10.1.2
Windows 7 Enterprise, 32-bit
Quad Core badass CPU
4GB RAM
MS Word 2010 (Office 2010)
I installed the latest version as Administrator and am running as Administrator. I have all rights to all files on the PC.
When I attempt to create a PDF from any Word document, whether .DOC or .DOCX, I get an error window every time:
"Unable to open document:"
"[document location]"
"Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file."
This happens after the little notice pops up "Starting the application which created the document...."
If I open Word and create PDF from the ribbon, it works. It still won't allow me to create from Acrobat.
It creates PDFs from Excel files but not DOC files. I've searched for solutions but found none. I did find this from July of 2011:
"I have found out from Adobe technical support that this is a known issue with Office 2010 SP1 installed. This is an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, remove SP1 and it will work ok. They said an update to correct this issue will be coming within the next quarter."
I have updated to the latest version 10.1.2 and still have this problem.
This is a major issue, because it also fails on batch conversions, which is what I really need for the 100 or so documents that need to be PDFed. I'm not going to open each individual file and save each one from within Word.
This is a KNOWN ISSUE at Adobe, and if you look through the forums you'll find many people having this problem, and so far, I have not seen any solution.
If anyone has found the solution, please post it here.
Thanks!
BI think I found a solution. It seems to be relatet to normal.dotm.
In our environment we have upgraded from XP & Office 2003 to Win7 and Office 2010. Normal.dot is stored on the users home share. When Office 2010 is started for the first time (for a user) it takes some of the old stuff from normal.dot and puts it in the new normal.dotm. When this happens, we get this error in Acrobat X.
The solution is to rename both normal.dot and notmal.dot to e.g. normal.dot.old and normal.dotm.old. Office/Word 2010 will then create a new, "clean" normal.dotm.
(By the way, if you are in a corporate environment, you might have changed the default path to normal.dot in Office group policies. You can see it here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\common\general\usertemplates)
I would be interested in knowing exactly why/what in normal.dotm caused this error. I can provide you (Adobe) with a faulty normal.dot(m), if you're interested. -
Error in Opening Document - error messgae as "First Define Numbering Series
Dear All
With new financial year starting one of our customer define new posting periods (12 periods for each month) and assigned one period indicator for all the periods. They also defined some user groups and assigned this groups to document numbering series for that user. Now while opening the document (e.g. Sales Order) for that user system displays the following message:
"To generate this document, first define the numbering series in the Administration module"
Therefore user can not open the document. Same procedure was followed in previous period also without any error.
Please suggest procedure to be followed.
Thanks & with regards

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application -

Opening Document's using Document ID (DocIdRedir.aspx) results in Read-Only mode
Hi,
The document doesn't have Edit option when it opens through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId.
Tried below below registry update solution and it doesn't provide the checkin/checkout options.
do we have any other option/solution to enable the edit button with checkin/checkout?
Request you please provide the solution.
Registry update Solution:
Add the following entry into the users registry.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet] "OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing"=dword:00000001
For a large number of users this would need to be done via Group Policy of course.
Thanks,
NeerenderHi Neerender ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open document in edit mode with checkin/checkout through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId.
For my test, if I configure my SharePoint 2010 to open office documents using the client application, when I open document through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId, the document will be downloaded , then opened
by the client application. So I can open it in edit mode.
If I configure my SharePoint 2010 to open office documents in the browser, when I open document through the DocIdRedir.aspx?DocId, the document will be opened in the office web apps and I can edit it by clicking
Edit in Brower.
Best Regards,

Cannot open documents in preview
i am not able to open documents in preview.Whenever i open any pdf,there comes "you don't have permission to open it,change it in file>get info from finder".
what should i do ?Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in the same way you launched Console. Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
Opening documents in separate (non-tabbed) windows
sorry about this simplistic question, but, how can documents be opened into their own separate window panes? Currently I have to drag each tabbed window out into empty space to establish a newly opened document in a separate window....can such a workflow be set as a default open file procedure?
thanksYou might try resetting your prefs by launching Photoshop with command-option-shift pressed while you open PS. Confirm that you'd like your prefs reset. Then adjust them as Steve described (you might check off "enable floating doc window docking" for good measure) and see if this helps. If you're concerned about losing any vital prefs (not color setting, not actions, not brushes), you can Google where the pref files reside and make a duplicate before resetting them.
I just revisited this and I'll bet he's dragging them into the application frame directly, as opposed to the app icon. In this case, I think he's SOL. And it seems to me he wants his cake for eating. Application frame but separate windows? Sheesh. -
XI 3.0 Open Document and BEx variables (prompts)
Can open document in Web Intelligence 3.0 be used to pass values to BEx variable/prompt (where the BEx variable is part of a query which populates the universe)?
ThanksWe were actually able to get this to work, but the we have discovered we cannot pass values that have two words.
For example, the value "Batteries" is accepted successfully. But the value "Fuel and Gases" is not passed successfully.
Here is the open document syntax (as generated by the wizard):
="< a href=\"https://stld9862.hydroone.com:8081/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=M0jqGzEABdqBABTwlgAAQ.IAAo4KDH8AAAA&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&lsMMaterial%20Group%20Mandatory="URLEncode(""URLEncode([L01 Material Group]))"&sWindow=New\" title=\"\" target=\"_self\" nav=\"doc\">"[L01 Material Group]+"</ a>"
Please note, I changed the tags <a to < a so to keep the formula in BOBJ syntax.
