How to open files from web links in safari

II can't figure out to get a file downloaded from a web link into numbers, pages, etc.

Matt-
I think the App that uses the files must have its own web access to be able to download. Perhaps another App that has web download capability can act as an intermediary using the "Open In" option.
One candidate might be GoodReader. It has some web download and file transfer capability, and does have the Open In option. However, it apparently must be able to read a file before you can get to the Open In option.
Another approach is to use iTunes on your computer. With the iPad connected to the computer, run iTunes and select the iPad under DEVICES. Click on Apps at the top of the window and scroll down to File Transfer. If an App appears there, data files can be synced to it by selecting it and dropping the files in a folder in the right hand window.

Mac won't open pdfs from web links.

I am running Mac OS v 10.5.8 and it suddenly stopped displaying PDFs that are opened via web links. All I see is a grey screen with the file title.pdf at the top, no error message. Has anyone experienced this or aware of a fix? Soooooo frustrating.
Thanks!

Alternatively, you can select any PDF file from Finder, hit Command-i, or right click on the file and select Get Info.
From there, change Open With to Safari.
Then hit the button Change All.
And done.

Opening file from web site in JavaScript

I have some JavaScript I've written (Windows PC platform with PS CS3) that opens a legal notice (jpg file) which runs from the File | Scripts menu and places the legal notice jpg on the bottom of the currently open Photoshop document. It opens and works well when the jpg file is on the local drive (c:) or network (//MachineName) but won't open if I try to open it from a web site (see example below). I'm getting "Error 12233: Expected a reference to an existing File/Folder". Is there any work around for this?
This works...
// Open legal notice document
var legalDoc = open(File("C:/Droke/EpLegalNotice/EpLegalNotice_US_Black.jpg"))
This doesn't work (and I know the file is there because I can paste the following URL into the browser and it displays the image)...
// Open legal notice document
var legalDoc = open(File("http://www.somesite.com/EpLegalNotice/EpLegalNotice_US_Black.jpg"))

There must be something else in these sites, and yet, you can
get SWF from any site,
even the most tricky one but it require skills which
obviously you don't have because
if you did you would know that AC_RunActiveContent.js does
not hide SWF files.
It's purposes is for something totally different.

How to open files from the SAP DMS (DOC Mgt. System) ?

Hello All,
 I making the Transaction CV04N in BSP.
When I execute this CV04N I should give a DOC Nr and the list is generated for this DOC.Now in the List if I select one Record and then Press Display Icon then the content of this list is opened in a new window in it's respective format (PDF,Word,GIF,Image file etc).These are stored in the SAP DMS.
 I want to open a file from this SAP DMS .
This can be done in ABAP using the standard FMs. But in BSP we can't use these FMs as it will call a screen.
The Fm which I'm using is " DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT ".
In Report prog. To this FM I'll pass the
a, DOC Type
b, DOC Number
c, Document part and
d, Document version.
then It'll directly open a PDF file in a new window.
But in BSP how should I acheive this as the FM calls a screen internally.
The content of the documents are stored in the DMS. Is there any TCODE or Table to get the files from the DMS ?
How should I proceed ? can any one help me out.....
Regards,
Deepu.K

Hello All,
 I found the FM : CVAPI_DOC_OPEN_CAD which wil return the file path.
But when I execute this in my BSP since the FM internally calls a screen it fails.
But can anyone tell me the alternative for this.
Should I create a FM omitting the GUI code ?
I found one more thread which says that I can use classes starting with cl_gos*.
But all the classes use a gui.
Dowload a document from R/3 DMS to BSP page
Am I wrong in the interpretation of the logic from the above thread ?
Please suggest me .
I too went thru the BSP Applications CVAW_ENTIRE, CVAW_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY.
But these are used to display only the thumbnails.
There is no code for displaying other formats like PDF,XLS etc.
Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know the correct path to solve my problem.
Regards,
Deepu.K

How to open files from old claris works with Appleworks 6 in OS X 10

Hi,
I have some claris works files backed up on a zip disk from a G3 with OS 7.X.
Now I try to open them on another G3 with Appleworks6 in OS X 10.
In Appleworks, I choose "open file" but those files are grey out so I cannot choose them. Is there anyway I can open those files in OS X 10?

Kuul, welcome to Apple Discussions.
MacLinkPlus @ http://www.dataviz.com/products/maclinkplus/ will probably translate the files so you can open them.
 Cheers, Tom

I want to open files from a link but I don't want to save it

Hello,
I use firefox mostly as a browser and everytime I click on a link on the web to open a file that file opens but it also goes to my download folder.
The dialog box opens and asks do I want to save or open and even when I put open it saves to my download folder.
Anyone know how to fix this. My download folder is overflowing.
Blaine

Downlaods folder is a temporary internet files folder pretty much. you could just clean it out every once in a while. if you download google chrome you can just open it with google chrome. i dont think that thats an option with firefox but i could be wrong.
Hope i helped!

How to open up your fav links when Safari opens?

I read somewhere that you can use the Automator to use Safari to open up the same webpages in different tabs everytime you open Safari. I have never used Automator before and I am not very good at writing scripts but it looked somewhat straight forward. Also will this work for any browser?

What you want to do is easy to do in Safari, although it does require one mouse click from you when Safari is launched.
Put all the bookmarks you want to open at once in a folder and put the folder on the Bookmarks Bar. On the Show All Bookmarks page, check Auto-Click next to the folder. Now when you open Safari, click on the folder and all the bookmarks will start loading, each in its own tab. If later you want just one of the bookmarks, command-click on the folder and you will get a drop-down menu of the bookmarks to choose from.

Unable to open .chm file from a link in Weblogic 7.0

Unable to open .chm file from a link in weblogic server. But the same

</mime-mapping>

Nothing Worked . What should i do ? I need immediate help to sort out
this issue. Can anybody help me

This could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

How to upload Unicode encoding files from web?

Hi everyone,
I do not manage to upload Unicode encoding CSV files from web. Currently I use class CL_HTMLB_MANAGER to upload file from web. It works fine with ANSI encoding files, but file content is not uploaded correctly with Unicode encoding files. Especially I get innumerable characters u201C#u201D throughout the string that contains the file content (For example instead of u201CSAP CATALOG CSV 2.0u201D I get u201CÿþS#A#P# #C#A#T#A#L#O#G# #C#S#V# #2#.#0#u201D).
I did not find in forums a solution to my issue that is why I am now asking for your help.
How can I upload Unicode encoding files from web? Do you know another way to upload file from web that is Unicode compatible?
Remark: I tried to upload Unicode encoding files from SAP GUI using function module GUI_UPLOAD and upload is successful.
Here is the code that I currently used.
DATA:     lr_event_ex     TYPE REF TO if_htmlb_data,
           fileupload      TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_fileupload,
           lr_upload_model TYPE REF TO /ccm/cl_bsp_upload_model,
           lr_error        TYPE REF TO /ccm/cx_file_upload.
lr_event_ex = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event_ex( runtime->server->request ).
IF lr_event_ex->event_name = 'fileUpload' AND lr_event_ex->event_type = 'upload'.
fileupload ?= lr_event_ex.
FREE lr_event_ex.
* get the model
lr_upload_model ?= me->get_model( model_id = 'mupl' ).
IF NOT fileupload->file_name IS INITIAL.
*   upload data
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD lr_upload_model->upload_data
          EXPORTING
            iv_file_name = fileupload->file_name
          CHANGING
            cv_xcontent = fileupload->file_content.
      CATCH /ccm/cx_file_upload INTO lr_error.
    ENDTRY.
    FREE fileupload.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Thank you in advance for helping me.
Best regards,
Vanessa

Opening pdf files from web

New to forums. Trying to open pdf files from web, and no luck, despite following Adobe trouble shooting suggestions. Using OS 10.7.5. no flickering or messages, just a tab with a blank screen. Older documents fine, nothing changed until this week. Downloaded X1 in attempt to solve problem.

Yes i tried following your list of commands and got the same error from MyMathLab by Pearson Publishing or the other link. I'm beginning to wonder if they are protected.
As you probably guess - I am not computer savvy. I will take my laptop to school tomorrow and ask another student.
Thanks for your followup.

Create a Button that Opens a Specific Web Link from a Dropdown Box

Hi guys. My main question is, how do I make a Button that opens a specific Web Link, depending on the URL selected in a Dropdown box?
Example:
I'm a comlpete newbie and need a code sample of how this would work! Thanks!
I have a couple other questions which are related to this.
1) Is it possible to hide the URL in the Dropdown list, and only show the Name, so for examlpe, it would only list Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, and not the www....com?
2) Another more advanced question is, once the web link is opened, is it possible to have adobe input or fill-in the Login and Password fields into the website and then hit "Enter" for you. The Username and Password would be stored somewhere in adobe and would depend on the weblink opened. So for example: When you open Hotmail, it would use the following; Username:[email protected] and Password:password1, but if you opened Gmail, it would use a different Username and Password stored for Gmail.
3) Finally, out of curiousity, is it possible to have adobe extract data from a website, and fill them into an adobe form? This maybe over my head, but any starting point or examples would be of great help!

Use something like this as the button's MouseUp action:
app.launchURL(this.getField("URL Dropdown").value));
To answer your other questions:
1) Yes. Place the URL as the export value of each option, and the name of the site as the display value. The code I provided can remain the same.
2) No.
3) Might be possible, but it's very tricky. The way to do it would be to convert the website to a PDF, process that PDF to extract the data from it, and then use that to populate the form fields. That would require quite advanced scripting knowledge, but it could be possible.

How can i open file from adobe reader..i already have adobe read

how can i open file from adobe reader..i already have adobe reader installed and cannot open a
file and i cannot convert my file into pdf..

Is the file really a PDF? Where is it? Have you tried opening it from within Reader?

How can I list open files from the same application

I often have several different files open in Word, Excel or Adobe. However only one is visible. How do I get a quick list of the other open files from an application?

Many applications have a Window menu at the top of the screen. Clicking on it will list all the open windows, as well as providing other options depending on the application.
