Manipulating .doc (word) files in Flex 4

Hi,
I'd like to open a .doc (word) file in Flex 4 and do many things with it. First of all, i want to know the number of pages that it has got and the amount of blank space in the last page (a percentage).
Is there any API or library that helps me to do that??
Thank You
Luciano.

When using Flash Catalyst to build the "front end" of my application, I am able to import
complex art work that almost bear no resemblence to the underlying component. Am I able to achieve the same results with external CSS files?
Thanks

Reading/Displaying MS Word file in Flex application

Hello,
Is there any way, by which I can read/display word file as it is in Flex application (Web based). Is there any way or work around by which I can achieve this.

Hello,
You can find swc-s that convert doc files to pdf files, you can also convert one page at a time, in case you have a big document.

Opening .doc (word) file on pages

Hi.
I'm having trouble opening word files on pages. Whenever I do, these "cells" cut off in the middle of the text. What I mean is, if the text is 2 pages long, only one page appears. I can only see it if I go to the section, "select all" and then paste it in another file. So I did that, and pasted it back. However, when I saved it as a word document and tried to open it with Word, there were no spaces, so the formatting was not quite right.
Any help, please?
Here is a screenshot: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/dreaming_freak/Picture2.png[/IMG]
As you can see, the text just abruptly stops. I don't know what to do about it.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Is it surprising ?
The User Guide clearly states:
*• Word files can be opened and edited in Microsoft Word on a Mac OS X computer or on a Windows computer.*
Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. Also, special typographic features and some graphics may not display as well, particularly those using transparency (alpha channels). Tables and column layouts may not export identically. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which can be edited.
As far as I know, the only soluce available when you need absolutely identical display on two universes is to use Word itself.

How can I import .doc word files into Pages from Word 2008 for Mac?

I find that if I try to insert a .doc document from the earlier version of Word for the Mac, it works fine, but if I try to insert a doc which has been saved in "compatibility mode" as a .doc in Word 2008, Pages doesn't recognise it. I didn't even know there was any difference in these two kinds of .doc
Does anyone know a workaround?

I can open them as I go using an intermediate app (Word for choice as presumably it preserves more of the formatting than TextEdit), then I can just copy and paste the text into my Pages doc. In my particular case this is tolerable, but I have a friend who I assist sometimes who I know has a lot of these docs and so I wanted to find a solution for him before he asked me!
It just seems quite different from what Apple appear to be offering... I started this thread really to see if anyone knew the cause of this anomaly, which seems to be a fairly small bug in Pages. Anyway I think I will not get any joy trying to understand the difference between the two kinds of .doc documents (in OS9 I would have guessed it was the 8-character file signature that differed, but I don't think this works in OSX) so I will stop wasting bandwidth and set this to "answered".

How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

How do we display .doc files or .pdf files inside flex containers like Panel or Canvas?

How do we display .doc files or .pdf files inside flex containers like Panel or Canvas? (i am talking about Flex web browser application and NOT air)
thanks in advance.

Perhaps I was not clear...
We have a Word doc.
We want to create a PDF doc from it.
We want, in Word/VBA, to add content (annotation/text note=sticky) to the PDF from Word via VBA macro.
What is the best way to do this?
1. Use a VBA call to the PDF doc to execute the AcroJS (we would pass the content, location, etc for the note in the call) - what is this VBA call that will execute AcroJS in an PDF doc?
2. Use AIC OLE objects to access the PDF doc.
From your last answer - it sounds like I cannot add the annotation to the PDF from the Word VBA macro - is that correct?
Our content is already in the Word doc - We want to execute a macro in Word that will add content to the PDF doc - can this not be done in Word?

Manipulating XML file using flex 2.0

Hi,
how to add contents in to xml file using flex 2.0, ie i
actually wants to write data in to a xml file, so that data to be
appended at the end of the file.
Kumar

You can't! Well, at least Flex cannot do this. All Flex can
do is send this data -- any data -- to the server and it's up to
you how you want to append this data to a file on the server.
You see, flex can't write to local files. If you looking for
client side file manipulation, take a look at Flex's desktop
brother call AIR!

Word files with no extensions .doc

Hi
if a start up staroffice 8.0 on linux with a word file, with no .doc extension it's not working.
soffice file (works on solaris, does not work on linux)
soffice file.doc ( works on both platforms)
It looks like the soffice solaris version loads the word filter but the linux
version loads a wordperfect filter.
Is there a place to configure the behavior.
Thanks Manuel

Is there no one who can confirm this bug?

Do I have to use the processddx action? I do not think so.
But there is a property DocumentText .. ?

WORD doc x files show lettering changed from black to white with black background, colors have black background

WORD doc x files received open with black lettering changed to white with black backgrounds. Color images have black backgrounds. There is no issue for non MAC users. How can I open the document as sent? Thank you.

Pages (any version) is not a word clone, and may not digest Word documents as accurately as their native Microsoft application. Pages v5 is also far from feature/functionality complete, and that only compounds this issue.
Suggest you download/install the free LibreOffice and open the Word documents with it. Do the artifacts persist in LibreOffice?

What I read in the PDF version of the manual (while I was waiting for my plane this afternoon), it seems pretty comprehensive. I was particularly interested in what it had to say about creating your own templates.
Supposedly, it will remember if I left invisibles showing in templates (one of my big complaints with Pages 1). I'll find out soon enough. I must say that opening my two documents I use for answering posts here in discussions sure did open faster & navigating an 11-page table was much faster.
Another good thing I noticed, the font used for the serial number is much clearer & there were no confusing characters - O/0, S/5, etc.

I note that several people are having problems loading MS Word files into Pages and the answers have not been helpful. I too, have had this problem recently, whereas a few weeks ago the uploads worked as the manual said. Now, a MS Word 2 doc is rejected

Perhaps the problem lies in the version of the Word file. Does anyone know what versions Pages 09 will accept? I have re-installed iWorks09, but that did not solve the problem. My operating system is 10.6.8 and I am current on updates.

The Word 2 doc is ancient. I wouldn't even know where to find one to test.
The obvious thing to test is open the documents you previously opened successfully.
If they still open successfully, then it is highly likely that the version that is the problem.

Pages App only displays first page of MS Word .doc & .docx files

Hello all,
There may be a thread out there to address this, but I couldn't find it.
I'm trying to switch to the Pages App from Microsoft Word. All of my .doc & .docx files only display the first page's text. Any proceeding pages show up blank. When I show pages side by side it looks as if the second page's info is there, but shifted to the side (half off the page) and I can't seem to move them to the proper place so I can see all my work.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? I'd like to get as far away from Microsoft as possible.
Thanks!

Folly,
There's a bug in the Pages adaptation to the Retina Display that causes that problem, and it's not just with imported documents, but all Pages documents according to what I have read here. Search these discussions for more detail. For now, choose "Open in low resolution" in the info pane for the Pages file.

Help needed in using POI for manipulating Word files

Hi ,
I am new to POI. I have to take multiple files as input and write them to an output word file using POI.The input files may be word files, jpg or or any other image files and excel sheets also.
Is this possible using POI?Is there any example source code available?
I had another concern .I have downloaded the poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804 jar.
This does not contain any api for hwpf.Where can i find hwpf api?

HWPF is not included in the standard jar that you will download from the Apache Organisations site. Instead, you need to visit what they tern the scratchpad area - from where the developers grab source to work on - and download HWPF from there. You will have to compile it yourself as well I believe. There is some good news however, I cannot remember the address of the site but I did find a web page with links to pre-built jar's of this area, just have a search with google.
From my own experiences, I would also reccommend that you look to using JExcel to manipulate Excel worksheets. It does not have the same sort of support for evaluating formulae as HSSF does but it does other things better IMO; little things like exposing the formatting applied to the cell.
