How to convert Works doc no longer having Works?

I have been sent a large Works document. No longer having Works, I am trying to figure out how to convert it into .rtf of some other form that is readable.

Since you've posted in the AppleWorks forum, by "Works" I assume you mean AppleWorks. There are a few options to get to the contents of that file.
The easiest & most reliable option other than using AppleWorks or Pages 4 or earlier would be to open the file with LibreOffice. It's a free, open source, Office clone that does a very good job of opening AppleWorks & ClarisWorks files. You can then save them as RTF or Word.
Second would be to open the file with TextEdit that comes with OS X. You will get a lot of "garbage" formatting text before & after the actual text. That formatting can be many pages long.
Third would be to look at the options available from Panergy Software. They do have demo software to try.

How to convert clob column to long

Hi,
Is there any way to convert clob column to long.
Here below is my scenario..
Instead of using substr function
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc AS
sql2 clob := '';
sqlstring1 LONG;
sqlstring2 LONG;
sqlstring3 LONG;
sqlstring4 LONG;
sqlstring5 LONG;
sqlstring6 LONG;
sqlstring7 LONG;
sqlstring8 LONG;
sqlstring9 LONG;
sqlstring10 LONG;
BEGIN
FOR sql1 IN (SELECT info FROM emp)
LOOP
sql2 := sql1.sql_string;
sqlString1 := dbms_lob.SUBSTR(sql2, 8000, 1);
sqlString2 := dbms_lob.SUBSTR(sql2, 8000, 8001);

sqlString4 || sqlString5 || sqlString6 ||
sqlString7 || sqlString8 || sqlstring9 ||
sqlstring10;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END proc;
Any help really appreciated
Thanks

We cannot execute clob dynamically.That's what I said: execute immediate doesn't support CLOB!
But you can concatenate two long's:
SQL> DECLARE
   l_stmt1   LONG;
   l_stmt2   LONG;
BEGIN
   l_stmt1 := RPAD ('BEGIN ', 32500, ' ');
   l_stmt2 :=
       RPAD (' dbms_output.put_line(''Hello World'');', 32500, ' ')
       || 'END;';
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Length of statement: '
                         || LENGTH (l_stmt1 || l_stmt2)
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (l_stmt1 || l_stmt2);
END;
Length of statement: 65004
Hello World
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.So if you strip some extra spaces or try to compact your statement somehow, you might be able use above method.

How to convert string date to long (or Unix date)?

I'm having difficulty in converting a user supplied date in the format mm/dd/yyyy to a long format such as 1035462807000. Since it's being entered by the user I can't just use the current system date. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Dave

Hi man, tsith Gave a good beggining, why dont you try the next code
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;
public class DateToUnix{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        getDateAsLong();
    public static void getDateAsLong(){
        String sStartDate = "12/01/2002";
        Date theDate;
        DateFormat sdf= new SimpleDateFormat("MM/DD/yyyy" );
        try {
            theDate = sdf.parse( sStartDate );
        }catch(ParseException e ){
            theDate = new Date();
        System.out.println( "Converted Start Date:" + theDate.getTime());
}No mather how you get a Date object, the value you are looking for is a long, and you can get it from such object with the getTime() method.
Take a look at the Java API @ [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#getTime()]

How to convert double to unsigned long integer for cRIO analog output?

All,
Having issues sending out my arbitrary waveform to my cRIO analog output. My values are doubles and by the time I send them out, they have been converted to U32 values and are all turning out as zeroes. This led me to assume two things: 1) That cRIO analog output can only output integers since the values need to be deployed in the memory first and 2) that I'm missing a step in the conversion process. My values range from 0-8, therefore I don't expect that the simple conversion tool in labview should make everything into zeroes.
Any help?

Since we are using the cRIO's FPGA interface, you really should be doing most of this inside of the FPGA. Use DMA FIFOs to pass your data between your RT and the FPGA (and visa versa).
On your FPGA, you can have a loop that just reads the analog inputs at whatever loop rate you want. You just send the data to the RT using a DMA.
Similarly, use a DMA to send your analog output values to the FPGA. The FPGA can have another loop that reads the DMA and writes the value to the analog output. This should be done in the FPGA since you can have the FPGA send out the values at a given (and deterministic) loop rate.

How to convert a .doc to a .pdf file

hi everybody,
I am a new user of Mac OSX Tiger. Anyone could help me change the extention of a word document into a pdf version, when I try to do so, I manage to convert the document but when I try o open it, the answer is like: adobe cannot open it because it is not a file type supported document or because the file has been corrupted...
does anyone knows the solution?
thank you!!!!

Hi Leya;
There is much more that must be done to a DOC file to turn it into a PDF besides just changing the extension. I don't have Word but I believe if you attempt to print the file there is a button labeled PDF. If you select this opption it will allow you to save the file as a PDF version. If you still have troubles, please let us know.

How to convert AI file into xml having keywords and coordinates

Hi,
I am new to AI and I am facing problem in exporting AI file.My AI file contains the Template for business card i.e. it has image and text field(static text) over it .Requirement is, the exported xml (like FXG) should have text fied attributes like x,y coordinates,font size ,style etc. and Keywords inserted in it.In SVG file I am able to export it in SVG but it's parsing taking lot of time.In FXG I am not getting those keywords,some attributes are getting drop.Is there any way to get the XML in that format(having x,y cordinates,style etc for text field along with keywords) ??
Thanks

If you're a developper, you should try to generate your own xml format, using Extended Script ToolKit (based on Javascript) or PatchPanel/Switchboard (based on Actionscript3).
PatchPanel and Switchboard can be found at Adobe Labs, the Extended Script ToolKit is a part of CS4.
For the documentation part, PatchPanel and Switchboard have their own documentation available in the zip file ; the illustrator javascript reference is here : http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/illustrator/sdk/AIJavaScriptReference.pdf

How to convert doc to prn?

Could you please advise me how to convert the ".doc" to ".prn" through programmatically without manual interaction.
Thanks for looking into this.

Hi seattlesnow,
(I wish it would snow in Seattle!). I think the fact this issue cropped up after you subscribed to ExportPDF may be coincidental.
But, it sounds like your printer is printing "to file," rather than to a the printer (a .prn file is an output file). What are you printing to? Do you see an option in the Print dialog box referring to "Print to File"? If so, please deselect that and try printing again.
Best,
Sara

I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad and getting the phoos o my IMac. ou see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac.

I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad which will be replaced with the photos on my IMac.You see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b

The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I got close but did not solve the problem:
I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
John

No. There seems to be no automated way to do it. You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do. We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.
