How do we create Hyperlink to local file on c:\ in Web Intelligence

How de we create Hyperlink to local file on c:\ in Web Intelligence.
Thanks in advance,
K.

K,
You can't hyperlink to a local file when you are in WebI. The ability to hyperlink requires the http protocol to be employed, wrapped within a web service (like IIS, for instance). So to hyperlink to any file, that file must be a part of a web service, and the web service must have access to the folder (again, like in IIS you must create web shares and IIS must "mount" those shares in an http environment). Hopefully I'm making sense to you on why it can't be done.
On the other hand, content that is static and has been made available for browsing on the web can also be linked to by populating a cell in a WebI report, marking that cell as "read cell contents as hyperlink", etc, etc.
Thanks,
John

How can i make hyperlink to local file for dowloading

How can I make hyperlink to a local file for downloading it, it seams that only www links work in web Ui.
Thanks

If we assume that you have a LabVIEW application running on your cRIO that is exposing some data through web services, there are a couple of possibilities.
You can create a web service call that returns the log data. In order for the browser to treat this as a file, you must set the correct content type in the http header. To do this you can't use the default form of data output. Instead you must create an "httpRequestID" input to your web service VI. With this you can call "Write Response.vi" to give the log data and "Set HTTP Header.vi" to specify the type (text/text probably works for a log). You can look at "examples\comm\webservices\address book\FindContacts.vi" to see an example of calling these 2 VIs. Once you create that web service entry point, you can set that as the URL of the hyperlink control and it should work.
Another option is to have the cRIO application write to a log file that is under the root of the web server running on the machine. (This is the same place the xap for your Web UI Builder application is put.) This file could then be served up through the web server just like any other file.
With either of these solutions there may be concerns about the browser caching results rather than requesting new content each time. There are additional values that can be set in the http headers with the first solution that can help with this, but I think there is still some variation between browsers.

Hyperlinks to local files no longer work

Hyperlinks to local files no longer work in Adobe Reader 11.0.1, but they did prior to the update. We have verified this on multiple machines.
We create a document in Word, add multiple relative links to other files on our local computer, and save as a PDF. The links worked in previous versions, but no longer work in 11.0.1. Does anyone else have this problem?
Links to external websites still work, it's only the links to other local files. We also tried opening the same file in Foxit Reader, and the links worked just fine. Only appears to happen in Adobe Reader 11.0.1.
This is a real pain in the ___!

Hi efrancen,
What exactly happens when you click on the hyperlink. Does it give a message that target was not foud. Can you share the PDF or this taget hyperlink.

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

How do I create an after effects file with an interchangeable image

Hey,
hope someone can help me, I'm using after effects to create a mp4 file, it contains a photo which has a animation super imposed ontop of it.
When the projects finished the base photo that the animation is created around could change up three times a day.
What I'm trying to work out is a way for a non technical user to just be able to upload the new photo to somewhere and for the animation to be created and returned somehow to him so that the animator doesn't have to re open and edit the affect effect project each time a new photo comes in.
Is there a way to do this built into after effects does any one know?
Thanks for any help

How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1?

How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1? from acrobat.com docs? Sorry Not sure what community to ask this in this community? The email provider I was using didn''t seem to want to accept it through Adobe Send the first time and since Adobe Send ends January 6, I am assuming a zip file is preferable.. I thought I had seen an Adobe Zip file somewhere but haven't been able to locate it. Any help appreciated.
Thank you.
Sherrie

Hi Sherrie L,
Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
Best,
Sara

In Adobe 8 how do you create a bates log file?

I love this feature in Adobe 9 where one can select "output options" and change the way the bates stamped PDF is saved, to create a log file of bates numbers per document, etc. Are these same output options and bates log file options available in Adobe 8? Basically, how do I create a bates log file in Adobe 8?

This is a great utility---thanks for sharing it! The Javascripts folder can be hard to find--here's what worked for me:
For Macbook Pro users using Acrobat Pro X with OS X version 10 or greater, you’ll want to copy the unzipped “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” file into the JavaScripts folder located in this path:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts
*** IMPORTANT: To be able to see the Contents folder, you must Right-Click (Ctrl-Click if you don't have a right button) on the filename "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app", then select Show Package Contents from the pop-down menu. The Contents folder will appear in a new window and you can navigate to Contents/Resources/JavaScripts, and put the “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” into the JavaScripts folder.
Once you've done that, restart Acrobat Pro and you'll find the "Flatten" option in your Edit menu. VERY handy! Tip: might want to save your original PDF file as a different version just to be safe---once you flatten the PDF, it can't be undone, so either just print and don't save, or save as different version if need be.

How do your create an xml glossary file?

Everyone talks about importing the glossary from an xml file , even from one created from Excel. I have browsed until my fingers bleed and watched the tutorials and seached the Captivate files to try and find a glossary root file to work with.
Please excuse my Newb question but how to I create an xml file, specially using Excel (the easiest way for me to set up a Glossary)? Is there an example I can work off? How do I paste the import xml tags as offered in the widgit to such a file.
This glosary file will be imported and used in to approximately 40 modules so obviously I want just one file to work with.
Again sorry for the newb question.

Hi Jeremia,
From one newb to another ;o)
I ditched the whole thing as soon as I figured it out because putting the glossary in to the captivate slides was really clunky and not a neat solution. Instead we are using our custom written background database and having a glossary link in the main navigation menu, a luxury many captivate scorm projects would not have.
However the spreadsheet is a way of writing all the tags needed for the xml code (fill down). Just highlight ALL the cells with all the tags as per the screen shot, copy and then paste in the open dreamweaver page. However, make sure the dreamweaver page is an xml page. You can then use the xml dreamwever page as the import in to captivate.
Because you are copying from a spreadsheet the paste action in dreamweaver will insert tabs between the data of the cell. You get rid of this by doing a search and replace...search for the tab and replace with nothing, effectively deleting the unwanted tabs.
It is highly inelegant but it works.
Hope this helps and does not confuse it further.

This is very helpful - I'm just missing the piece of how I import the excel data into the Dreamweaver code. Am I repeating the same code over and over in Dreamweaver and cutting and pasting from the excel file?
I'm a newb also so any help would be appreciated!

How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

Hi can someone help me with this question?
How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
Cheers!
VJ

It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
Is there a solution for this??
If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

Hi Nico,
we patched up to BI 4.1 SP 3 Patch 2

Is there a way to make firefox open hyperlinks to local files?

My company has a custom developed ticketing system and of course its developed for IE but none of the engineers like IE. We all use and want to continue using Firefox. One of the sections in the ticketing system has a spot for links to local files on a shared drive. I have created the link and it points to a word document. That hyperlink works fine in IE but it does nothing when clicked in Firefox.
Of course the dev team is giving me the age old line ".NET doesn't play nice with Firefox... developed for IE.... blah blah use IE."
Surely creating a link to a local file like excel or word or even a directory is simple idea and should be accomplished somehow with FireFox right? Can anyone shed some light on this and give a suggestion how to make this work?
For example:
N:\KNOWLEDGE BASE\Cisco Price List\2012\pricelistaugust2012.xlsx
i am trying to share with a hyperlink like:
<a href=file://companyname.local\Shares\Services\KNOWLEDGE BASE\Cisco Price List\2012\pricelistaugust2012.xlsx
Looking for any suggestions on how to make this work. Thank you so much!!

I think there are two aspects to this:
(1) URL format
If you navigate to that file using the browser's Open File dialog (Ctrl+O), you can get the workable link format for it. For example, the separators will be forward slashes instead of backslashes.
(2) Local file security
Firefox limits access from pages on web servers to pages on local disk or UNC paths. This article has more info: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work Links to local pages do not work - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. This extension provides a workaround: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/locallink/ LocalLink] (I haven't tried it myself).
