Invalid file format

Hi friends,
I had performed the broadcasting of reports (Bex reports).
The reports are now available on portal. (Frontend)
But when I try to access the report in frontend, a window pops-up asking me to save the bex file.
When I click on cancel, it gives invalid file format.
What could be the issue? Please help.
Thanks & Regards,

Crashed, file won't open, "Invalid File Format"

working in DVD SP 4, program crashed, and now I can't open my file. I get a "Invalid Project File Format" error when I try.
I've done some searching on here, and tried a few things I've found (making a copy of it, changing some stuff in the resource folder, etc) but nothing is working. Any ideas? I don't have a back up of this and it's got a lot of subtitling.

Highlight the file within the workspace, click the down-facing arrow that appears to the right of the file name and choose 'Download'.
Once the file has been downloaded to your computer, open it within the appropriate application.
I suspect that the file you may be referring to is a PDF, but that it's an XFA file. This type of PDF, often created from LiveCycle Designer, cannot be previewed within Workspaces.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

I can open a pdf from email on a laptop, not on the desktop. The desktop tells me invalid file format. I have went through the list from support.

Had a virus on the desktop, then had a reformat, now I can not open adobe pdf in firefox from yahoo email. I have reinstalled Acrobat reader, same problem.I can open it in internet explorer. I can open it on the laptop.

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

Barry

After the Numbers 2.2.1 iPad app update, my spreadsheets won't open as it says the file format is invalid

I have been using the 1.4 version of Numbers for some time on my iPad. After updating to the 2.2.1 version, my files can no longer be accessed as when I click to open them they display the message "Spreadsheet can't be imported - the file format is invalid". The files will not upload to icloud, send, copy or open in another app. Can anybody help?

Just to mention it: My iPad (also on 4.2.1) syncs fine so far.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Loading Flat file in ASCII format

Hi All,
    We are loading data from flat file in ASCII Format . Kindly let me know what are the prerequisites we need to maintain when we load data in ASCII Format .
Cheers!
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
I always load in delimited ASCII. True ASCII format has the advantage of being the fastest way to enter data to BW. But you have to make sure, that the values you import are perfect aligned. So you have to fill in blanks to get the values and characteristics aligned. Delimited ASCII separates by a separator (usually a tabulator or a ";").
Example:
ASCII
10200865678983 10PRODA     2011
10200865678983 20PRODB     4012
Delimited ASCII:
1020;08;8656789383;10;PRODA;20;11
1020;08;8656789383;20;PRODB;40;12
Depending on system you may also be careful how you name your files. In Unix you have to be careful in using Upper/Lower case. Win and Unix systems use different ways to access directories. You have to keep this in mind, especially if you wish to use a function to find the filenames you wish to import.
Also because of Unix or Windows systems you should remember that Unix just need a CR to separate lines, while Windows needs CR/LF. So if you try to import Windows files in Unix systems you will get interesting results. Look at the files you wish to import with transaction AL11. If you see some interesting black cubes at the end of line, you have a windows file you try to load in unix.
Kind regards,
Jürgen

File format invalid when opening a word document

Hi there,
I have been sent a batch of Word and PDF documents, which when I try and open on my Macbook they all come up with the message 'The file format is invalid'.
I have previously been sent word and PDF files, and had no problem opening them. I have used the Help resource, and followed the instructions about dragging the file to the Pages icon etc, but the same error message comes up.
What could be wrong? I think that the version of Word is 2007.
Lucy

As far as I know, Pages was never able to open PDF files.
By default, this task is dedicated to Preview.
M…oSoft created so many file formats that I'm not really surprised by what yo describe with Word documents.
Would be a good idea to download and install the free LibreOffice from :

IWork export to Office error "The file format is invalid" in pages, keynote and numbers.

I am running iWork 09 (latest versions in all cases)*. When I try to export files from all three of the applications Pages, Keynote and Numbers into the relevant Office formats, I get the error "The file format is invalid." It works fine with PDF or RTF export.
I am able to open the same files in the iPad versions of thess iWork apps, and then export them. While this workaround will do for now, I'd like to be able to just export correctly.
Anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Iarla

Yes, this worked a treat, thanks very much! *

* Note that I needed to manually remove iWorks as the For_iWork:iWork '09:iWork9Update5.dmg.zip file wouldn't work on the latest version of iWorks. This involved deleting the iWork folders in the Applications and Library directories.

IWeb 08 error message "The file format is invalid"

I have been reading all of the problems regarding publishing iweb pages at the moment, I too cannot publish my site but I get a different error message
"The file format is invalid"
Can anyone help as to why I might be getting this message?
My iDisk seems to have a very old version of my website stored and I don't know where to look to find the current versions files?
Why hasn't iDisk got the most up to date version of my iWeb site and how do I get it to have?
Which folder on the iDisk should your iWeb files be stored in?
Sorry to ask so many questions but I am new to the publishing part after spending weeks building a site only to find it I get an error and my iDisk file structure holds old files.

When I opened iWeb I could see the most up-to-date version of my site, I could edit it and save it (to where I don't know). When I opened the web and sites folder on my iDisk it contained only the files from a previous version of my website created months ago.
I tried looking for the Domain file for my iWeb site and looked in my home folder, application support and then iWeb but the iWeb file in App support was empty.
I believe the iWeb file in App support is where the Domain file should be located, correct?
I have used Time machine to go back a week and have located the domain file and have restored it. The domain file now sits in the iWeb folder in App support in my Home, where it should be.
Now when I load iWeb I see the version of my website that was created a week ago which is fine but iDisk still has the old file structure of my site from months ago.
Can I delete the old file structure completely from the Sites folder on my iDisk? this should remove the old version of my website shouldn't it?
How do I get the restored version of my website to appear in iDisk?
Do I simply copy the Domain file into the sites folder on iDisk?
My iWeb files on Mobile me are also the months old versions, how do I update these so my new site is all that I can see?
Any answers to my 'File format' problem when trying to upload, is it because I don't have my iWeb files in the correct places?

Which data file format is better for storing setup information? XML, ASCII or Binary?

Hello,
Our application is using cluster, string, Integer and other data types and storing them in ASCII files. We are using flatten to string function and storing it to the text file. However, going ahead we want to migrate to XML file format. Is it a good idea? What would be the pros and cons?
Thanks.

If you are using LabVIEW's Flatten to String function, you are storing your data as binary, even if you are sending a string to the file writer.
The issues you will run into using this method or any of the canned LabVIEW XML VIs: If your data type changes, your files can't be read in any more. You mentioned you have clusters. If you add an element or take one away, the old files won't be read in anymore. You would have to store old versions of the data type and file reader and then convert the old data type to the new data type.
The nice thing about OpenG's INI functions is they take variant's, so you can pass complex data structures and it will write the file. If the data type changes, as long as it can be coerced into the format, it will still be read in. If you pass a cluster and a value is missing from the INI, the default is used. If there is an extra value in the INI, it's just skipped. So, your reader and writers can be updated without as much concern about supporting old data files.
One method you can do if you want to use binary is the "TLD" method. TLD stands for Type, Length, Data. I use an enum for the Type. The Length is just the length of the Data which follows, and then the data is the binary data. If I change a data type, then I create a new enum value (always has to be added to the end of the list to maintain value consistency with the old files). This way, the reader can still handle the old data type and convert it into the new data type in whatever method is necessary. It can also completely ignore it if desired. I usually process clusters as individual items so I don't have to save old versions of the cluster. It works quite well and only adds a few bytes per data item. The big caveat is you have to remember to update your file writer and reader whenever you change a datatype or add a new value.

I'm trying to open a word file on my iMac and it keeps saying Import error: the file format is invalid. Why?

I exported a file on my imac as a word document but now I can't open it. It says Import error: The file format is invalid.

If no on this forum can help you then I would recommend reposting on the Office for Mac Product Forums.

Invalid docx file format error when publishing

Good morning all,
I've been using UPK 3.5.1 Developer for years with Office 2003 (yes, I know we should upgrade, but that's out of my control), and have successfully published many times. After my latest publishing, the following error showed in the Activity Log:
Task: Job Aid / Postprocessing document
Comment: Invalid docx file format odpub://int/PlayerPackage/Temp/03d444ee-681b-406b-aba2-cd4b669702e2_JOBAID.docx
All of the other job aids have published to a .doc format, so I'm not sure why this one is behaving differently. I located the offending topic, and in UPK, the preview provides a similar error when I try to preview the job aid. Strangely enough though, in the published project, the job aid for that topic prints just fine. I know I can just ignore the error since the finished product works, but I'm just wondering if anyone has some insight as to why this error occurred.
Thanks!
Brenda Hutch

I am having the same issue. It is during export - almost immediately after exporting begins. No file is created.
