How to place CADD (DWG) files into an InD document

I am going to be receiving CADD drawing which have to be placed in my document. Traditionally CADD are "DWG" files. Can I receive them as DWG and import or place them. Must they be "Photoshopped" first and changed to a TIFF file. I do not see any mention of this kind of file in InD or in Photoshop. Is receiving them as an already changed to PDF the only other option? Is there something in Illustrator that might be helpful.
Thanks
GB

Thanks for the extra info-I would not have remembered to do that- Not operating in the Corel world now-but that is exactly what I had to do often when I was away from the main frame.
Many thanks for your well thought out help.

and as always everyone else's too.

How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

How to place a ".m4r" file into iTunes?

I have a ".m4r" file on my PC that I would like to use as a ringtone. How do I put it into iTunes and use it as a ringtone?
Thank you,
Howard

Open iTunes. On the left you will see a Ringtones category. Open it. Drag the .mr4 file there. It will tell you the length of it, etc. You can then sync it into your iPhone.

When I place a pdf file into a PM7 document it is blurry.

I have two pdf files that I want to place on the same page of a PM7 document, but the images show up very blurry. What gives? Why would a pdf file not show up crystal clear in a PM document?

There is a learning curve but you need to be aware that PM has ZERO
support for PDFs with transparency. You were fortunate this time. Next
time, probably not.
If you are interested in learning InDesign this book is the best on the
planet for a beginner: http://amzn.to/13qYBT7
This link will get you a one week free trial for Lynda.com which has
fabulous video training: http://bit.ly/RS0GXs
Keep in mind that InDesign is part of Creative Cloud. You can buy CS6
but it's $700. A subscription to a single CC app is $20/month with an
annual contract.
You might want to consider other alternatives such as open source
scribus or the very reasonably priced Serif PagePlus.

How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

If I understand whatnyounare asking (and not sure I do), you may have a difficult time accomplishing that. Calendar app doesn't store documents and I don 't know of an app that will extract text from a PDF and place it in a calendar entry automatically. Check the app store - I could be wrong - but you will have to handle that manually.
Many apps that read PDF will allow you to copy text, including GoodReader mentioned above.

How to insert a image file into oracle database

hi all
can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
i have created table using
create table imagestore(image blob);
but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
        boolean result = true;
        String fileName = null;
        byte fileData[] = null;
        String fileUploadError = null;
        String imageType = "";
        String error = "";
        DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
        List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
        Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()){
            FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
            if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                fileName = fileItem.getName();
                fileData = fileItem.get();
                // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                if (fileName != null) {
                    int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                    if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                        imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                        if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                            imageType = "jpeg";
        String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
        session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
        session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
        session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
        session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
        return result;
     } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
        //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
        //save it into the database via a pstmt
        String sql = "";
        UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
        Connection con = null;
        int signatureID = 0;
        PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
        try {
            udbq.setUsePreparedStatements(true);
            con = udbq.getPooledConnection();
            con.setAutoCommit(false);
            if((!mode.equals("U")) || (mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn == 0)) {
                sql = "SELECT SEQ_SIGNATURE_ID.nextval FROM DUAL";
                pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
                while(rs.next()) {
                   signatureID = rs.getInt(1);
                if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                    sql = "INSERT INTO T_SIGNATURE (SIGNATURE_ID, SIGNATURE) values (?,?)";
                    InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    pstmt.setInt(1, signatureID);
                    pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                    pstmt.executeUpdate();
                    pstmt.close();
                    con.commit();
                    con = null;
            if(mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn != 0) {
                signatureID = signatureIDIn.intValue();
                if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                    sql = "UPDATE T_SIGNATURE SET SIGNATURE = ? WHERE SIGNATURE_ID = ?";
                    InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    pstmt.setBinaryStream(1, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                    pstmt.setInt(2, signatureID);
                    pstmt.executeUpdate();
                    pstmt.close();
                    con.commit();
                    con = null;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            con = null;
            throw new Exception(e.toString());
        return signatureID;
   }

So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...

Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?

Have converted pdf file into a word document. How do I engage the edit option?

Have converted pdf file into a word document. How do I engage the edit option?

Not stupid you! To, from PDF--it gets confusing!
To edit a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. Depending on how much work needs to be done to the PDF, it may make sure sense to edit in Word, and then reconvert to PDF. Acrobat doesn't function as a word processor, so while limited changes to the text should be fine, extensive updates may not yield the results you're looking for.
That said, if you don't have Acrobat, you are welcome to try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

Hi,
I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
Thank you

Not all PDF files are created equal. When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc... This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable. However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging. This may get you a better result. Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.
