Importing a text document into Lightroom 4

How do I import text pages from a word processing package into lightroom 4 book module. I am doing a book of my grandmothers memoirs and want to incorporate several pages of text along with photos. How can I make this happen

Or do screen captures saved as jpgs.

How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

Hi there,
I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
I thank you so much in advance!

Hi Fruhulda,
I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

Importing a PSD document into flash?? Help

Hello,
I am trying to import my PSD document into flash, I designed my website in photosphop but for some reason flash
seems to handle everything a little weird. Can Flash handle the different you place on things from photoshop?

Usually it is easier to separate your psd and save each element for web then import to those to Flash and rebuild.
But it is indeed handy to import your psd directly. If you do so:
Play with your import settings when importing your psd to Flash. You may want some items to remain vector shapes, you may or may not want to keep text editable, some you may want to import as bitmaps, most you will probably want to convert to movie clips, etc.
A few bullet points:
• Flash will turn your layer styles to separate bitmaps and will usually distort them funny.
• Make sure your psd color profile is sRGB before importing to Flash.
• Some fonts will not import to Flash from a psd nicely, if you dont need to edit the text you should convert the type to shape (make a copy of the layer first, though, you may have to go back and edit - typos happen)
• Flash will turn bitmaps as pngs. These may increase file size, so you may still have to go back to PS and export some as jpg (if you do though, once you import those to flash, right click in your library and click Properties and uncheck "Use Imported JPG Quality" and set the percentage yourself).
The list can go on, but I'm tired and can't think of all the tips and tricks.
One thing is for sure: Be sure to go over all the importing options in Flash and all the layers carefully before hitting OK.

Importing one Pdf document into another.

I am trying to import one Pdf-document into another using a Reference XObject. I am looking at thePDF- specification, and I thought I was doing things the right way, but its not working. The PDF-specification doesen't have an example of how to do this, only an explanation.
Below is the PDF-file I am testing with (if anyone can be bothered looking at it ). The file embeds another pdf-file, and is supposed to show a part of the embedded file at a certain position.
Again, if anyone can be bothered looking at my PDF and see if they can see what I am doing wrong here I would appreciate it.
(There is nothing wrong with the embedded file itself...)

PDF is a binary format. The most important piece in a PDF file is the cross
reference table. It contains byte offsets to the different objects in a
file. If you insert just one space (which in a true ASCII file will not
change much), you are making all byte offsets after the insertion point
invalid. They now all point to something different than the start of an
object.
Because there is no standard about how line endings are encoded in text
files, every time may add (or subtract) a byte - depending on what computer
system and what editor you use to convert your PDF to fake-ASCII, and then
again what I use to try to convert it back to PDF. If you are using a
Windows system and I'm using a Mac, the cross reference table gets
corrupted. And that's even before the web server does it's magic and
potentially adds data.
If you want somebody to look at your file.
Have you looked at the post I linked to? The settings in Acrobat are
important. You need to enable Reference XObjects, AND you have to declare
the directory where your target file is stored as trusted.
From what I can see in your PDF code, you are doing a whole bunch of cm
operations. You may want to consolidate all those into one operation. I
have not done a detailed analysis, but you could potentially shift your
data off the page. Keep it simple and see if that makes a difference.

How to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word Document?

Hi all,
We're looking for a way to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word document.
All the XML or Text documents are oriented as a 'Paragraph', meaning smaller pieces of text.
By selecting some of these XML documents, the system should be able to create a new Word document with all the selected text paragraphs included.
The Word document can then be edited for applying a correct lay-out and the document is ready.
Actually, we are trying to do some kind of 'mail merge' but with multiple XML or Text documents!
Has anybody an idea whether something exist already or give us a direction how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal Decock

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.

How to import Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5 keeping 16bit?

I have a problem importing Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5. I have seen articles that I should change them into DNG by Phocus.
When a photo is converted into DNG file it seems that it becomes 8 bit when I open in photoshop. Since I am shooting with RAW, I'D like to keep it
in 16 bit. Am I making sense? Or I am missing some information regarding DNG and 8bit business?
Please teach me the best way.

If opening directly from LR into Photoshop check your pref settings.
Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing (Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing on Mac OSX)
The usual choice is to render a 16 bit tiff or PSD file. Make sure it’s not incorrectly set to 8 bit.

Problems while uploading text documents into Unicode Database

I just upgraded our database from 9iR1 to 9iR2 (9.2.0.1.0). The server
character set is AL32UTF8. Now I'm facing a problem when
uploading text documents into the database via a web frontend.
I use the upload table defined for the PL/SQL Database Access Descriptor:
create table TB_UPLOAD (
NAME VARCHAR2(256) not null,
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(128),
DOC_SIZE NUMBER,
DAD_CHARSET VARCHAR2(128),
LAST_UPDATED DATE,
CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR2(128),
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB);
After uploading a text document containing the two words "hallo welt",
the following statement returns not "hallo welt", but "68616C6C6F2077656C74":
declare
b_loc blob;
v_amount integer := 100;
v_buffer varchar2(100);
v_offset integer := 1;
begin
select blob_content into b_loc from tb_upload where name like 'mydoc.txt';
dbms_lob.read(b_loc, v_amount, v_offset, v_buffer);
htp.prn(v_buffer);
end;
What is this? I studied the documentation, but didn't found a solution.
When trying to use Oracle's built-in procedure wpg_docload.download_file,
the content is shown the way it should be. Unfortunately, I can't use
wpg_docload.download_file in order to copy the BLOB content to another table.
Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Roman,
the upload uses a BLOB (Binary Lob). Your Document is
stored as is in the binary representation. If you
use dbms_lob.read on a blob and your buffer is a varchar2 the binary representation is not translated!!!
use a raw for the buffer and utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2
to do the conversion to varchar.
try this
Procedure SHOW_DOC(p_name doc_test.name%TYPE)
IS
v_len number;
v_mime_type tb_upload.mime_type%TYPE;
v_offset integer := 1;
v_Buf_size integer := 32767;
v_buf raw(32767);
v_blob blob;
v_Doc_name varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
v_doc_name := url_Decode(p_name);
select mime_type,doc_size,blob_content
into v_mime_Type,v_len,v_blob
from tb_upload
where name = v_doc_name;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(v_Mime_Type);
begin
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ(v_blob,v_buf_size,v_offset,v_buf);
HTP.PRN(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(v_buf));
v_offset := v_offset + v_buf_size;
END LOOP;

Import GPS metadata info into Lightroom

How do I import GPS metadata info into Lightroom from either my camera or from disk? I'm using lightroom 3.2. It shows up in CS5 Bridge, why not in Lightroom?
oracle 52

I downloaded the plug-in and used the metadata file preset for geo-tagging plus all the others in Adobe Lightroom 3 prior to "import" using the "Add" submenu. Only under the geo-tagging preset in Metadata did I see the "labels" of latitude, longitude, etc. However, the metadata for each of the photos for these labels were blank. Yet, when viewing these photos on Nikon VX from which the photos was imported shows the correct GPS coordinates. Why isn't this data being displayed in Lightroom as it appears from the original file on my hard drive?

Need help importing large word document into CS2

I am using ID CS2. I am putting together a document that has 120 pages that's 11.625 wide by 21.25 tall (newspaper) and will be in 8 columns. I want to place a text document using the autoflow method. My problem is, there are so many words, characters, etc. that my ID freezes up. I have changed the original document to a Word Doc, Excel file and a text document. Changing the type document seemed to make a difference. What is the best way to place the text and format it?

Technically, you don't need to draw the text box first. If you already have your margins and columns correct (which I assume you have set up on the master so it automatically applies to all pages), ID will create the textbox when you autoflow (shift click or alt click with a loaded curser). Just click with your loaded curser in the top left of the first column. Another way to do this is to create an 8 column text box on your master and click over it on the actual page. The advantage to this is that you don't have 8 text boxes across your page, but one single text box divided into eight columns. There are pros and cons to both work flows, though it appears that the new CS5 has more pros to the single text box with columns than the eight text boxes.
You should only remove the styles and formatting if you want all the formatting stripped from the file as you place it. Otherwise, you can actually map the styles in the placed document to the ones in the ID file from that dialog box, and that might save you a lot of formatting time with such a large document--assuming that the file you are placing is correctly styled and formatted (which is not always the case).
Since I'm now not sure what you meant by ID "freezing" in your original post--if ID actually crashes (closes itself with or without an error message) when you try this import, you might try opening the final text doc and breaking it up into smaller segments to place. However, there should be no problem placing a text document of that length into ID. If ID is just pausing for a while, do give it time to actually process all those pages.

Importing a text file into a variable

I have a text file that I would like to import as a variable in javascript. I would like to do some editing to the text in the script before I place it into the page. I have the script splitting text into an array and the different parts need to go to different places... I have everything working for me except for importing the text from a file into a variable (right now I'm defining the variable from within the script).
Any help would be appreciated!
-Shane

In Javascript you could use this:
var f = File ('/d/books/mytextfile.txt');
if (f.exists)
f.open ('r', undefined, undefined);
var textfile_contents = f.read();
f.close ();

How can I import an Aperture Catalog into Lightroom and retain the RAW file as well as the files with the edits?

I have several catalogs in Aperture that I would like to import to Lightroom 5 and I want to retain the original RAW files as well as the files with the edits. How can I do this?

Well, you can bring in the raw file (without edits), and you can bring in a rendered RGB file (e.g. jpeg or tiff) with edits baked in, but what you CAN'T do is bring in a raw file, with the non-destructive Aperture edits, and have Lr translate those Aperture edits into Lightroom edits.
Put another way: no raw converter/editor can understand the edits of any other raw converter/editor. So, you have to work with a rendered version, and/or re-edit from scratch in a new raw converter/editor.
PS - it would be feasible to write a rough translator which approximated raw edits in one world into edits in another, but such does not exist yet for Aperture -> Lightroom, that I know of.

Can I import Powerpoint text objects into CP as seperate layers?

I have a Powerpoint presentation I would like to convert to a CP7 project. I imported the Powerpoint and checked the 'sync' checkbox. In CP I added voice over to each slide. Now I want to time the fade-in of each of my bullets to the audio track. However, the individual text layers that exist in Powerpoint are not brought into CP as seperate layers. This makes it extremly difficult to time the bullets to the audio track because the audio is in CP and I have to implement the timing in Powerpoint. Is there any way to import the Powerpoint text objects into CP as individual layers?

Not possible, each ppt slide will be turned in sort of a movie slide that
keeps timing and animations. Maybe you need a ppt plugin instead of a full
authoring tool?
