I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

'''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

    Not on iCloud itself - what you need is 'iTunes Match' which seeks to find versions in the Store of songs you already have, and failing that allows you to upload your own copies. This will cost you $24.99 per year; it does not count towards your 5GB free iCloud space. Limit 25,000 songs (purchased songs do not count towards this limit). You will need iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your Mac or PC and iOS 5.0.1 or later on your iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), or iPad.
    Please see this page: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Also note that some people have found that when using this facility with songs which contain strong language, iTunes Match is substituting a cleaned-up version.

    Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
    Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

  • How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

    How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

    THanks for your reply.
    Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
    you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
    my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
    converts it into docx, my choice.  I can read it there and when I try to
    copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
    like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
    save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
    to see it.    I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
    give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing.  What
    I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit.  People send me
    things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
    in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
    doesnt allow me to copy the text.  If it is in image form, I cannot work on
    it.  It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
    I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program.  Its just double the work and
    ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
    Sorry  if I am a bit dumb with informatics.  But I simply could not find
    any way whatever to  copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
    format that would enable me to edit it.
    Kindest regards,

  • I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

    In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

    Thanks for the email, Stacy!
    I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi Joseph,
    I'd like to assist!
    Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
    Are these files scanned to PDF files?
    You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
    Let me know if that works.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • How do I fix or open a corrupted file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically email

    How do I fix or open a corrupted PDF file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically emailing?
    Please see the following screen shot:
    http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/pdfproblem_zpsbd9bdc00.png

    Well, it is a pdf file, and it once was a readable one, I suppose.
    It must have data on the hex or binary level that can be retrieved. 
    If necessary, I will have to look into the file format of a PDF file?  Is this documented?

  • FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?

    FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?
    As an animator, I am constantly modifying and overwriting movies files that have already been imported into the Final Cut time line. In FCP7, I could easily modify and update movie files and have those changes appear in the timeline without the need to reimport and re-edit those clips, but FCPX seems to lose it's connection with any modified or overwritten file, making all the editing work I've done to these files worthless.
    Does anyone know of a way to reconnect to a modified or overwritten file? Because, this one single issue makes FCPX completely worthless to me.

    If you import the new clip , select it and drag over the old offline clip , you can choose from the menu ...

    Changing a number in an excel file that has been changed to a PD ?

    Hi llkwx,
    If I understand correctly, you've converted an Excel file to PDF, but now need to edit the PDF file? If so, you'll need either update the Excel file and re-create the PDF, or use Acrobat to edit the text in the PDF. If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to try ti for free for 30 days: see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Printing the percentage of the file that has been loaded

    Hello everyone!
    I'm using a FileInputStream and a DataInputStream to read my .DAT file, but I want to print out the amount of percentages of the file that has been loaded, in a System,out.print(""); statement, please tell me how I can do this. :)
                fileInStream = new FileInputStream("C:/Documents and Settings/Benjamin Dahse/Dokumenter" +
                        "/NetBeansProjects/Online Multiplayer Game Client/build/classes/net/client/game/io/Cache/" +
                        "main_file_cache.DAT");
                dataInStream = new DataInputStream(fileInStream);This by the way, is how I get the path to the file, I want my DataInputStream to read.

    Thank you for your comment, but out of this code:
                int percentage = 0;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[15000000];
                while(true){
                    percentage += dataInStream.read(buffer, percentage, Math.min(buffer.length,
                            fileInStream.available() - percentage));
                    System.out.print(percentage / fileInStream.available() + "\n");
                    if(percentage >= fileInStream.available()){
                        break;
                }The only output I get is 3?
