Nice surprise reading pptx files!

I needed to send a powerpoint file (from a Windows laptop I have to use for work) to my iPad to take on trip (but not to edit).
Without buying extra apps (Keynote, D2G etc) the easiest way is to convert the save the powerpoint file as a pdf.
I emailed the file to myself and picked it up on the iPad. In fact I'd accidentally attached the .pptx not the .pdf version. Out of curiosity I opened the .pptx attachment in the email, and was amazed that most of the slides appeared exactly as original! Text slides with simple shapes were fine, but more complex charts and tables did have formatting problems.
This may be of interest to anyone wanting to view simple powerpoint files. I don't know if this only works with .pptx or if .ppt would have same results.
Subsequently I sent myself the .pdf file I meant to send, and this appears perfectly on the iPad and can be kept on the pdf "shelf" of iBooks (when you tap on the opened file, an "open with iBooks" button will pop up)

Unfortunately it does not appear to work consistantly... I have had multiple issues trying to preview and or open pptx files on my iPad and or in Keynote...
Very interested to hear any ideas that people may have with a viable viewer... The challenge is that I can't control what people send me and would like to be able to open them on my iPad.

Can Keynote 5.1.1 read .pptx files?

Just received a .pptx file from a friend.
Keynote came up as just a bunch of blank slides.
Is this what others get as well?
Any converters out there?

I just tried opening a Mac .pptx file in Keynote and it worked. Not much help I know but it means the problem is specific to your file rather than general.

Keynote freezing when opening pptx files

hi there,
so i have keynote on my mac with iwork 08 since i got it two summers ago and i have never had this problem before. i think i have even opened pptx files before and they have worked, so im not sure why its not working now.
but the problem is when i try and open pptx files for school it will start the opening screen but stays on it forever and i have to end up force quiting the program. the bar that says loading only gets like 10% of the way, but never further!
whats the deal? i downloaded the latest update for keynote, but it didnt help.
i got the file via email though and can quick preview it both in finder and in mail. also the HD heats up when i try and open it and it sounds like it is strugglin'!
thanks
last second thought- i think it has happened just since my update to snow leopard.. maybe thats the problem...

There are two libraries on your Mac:
1. In the System folder
2. In your User folder
It's the second one that has Preferences.
I'd be very surprised not to see a plist in the User>Library> Prefs folder, as each time you launch an app, a plist is created.
However, if this is the case, my suggestion is to delete iWork and reinstall it.

Mail App: I OPen a pptx file, I can't close it to return to see other Mail. Please tell me how to procedure? Thanks a lot!

Problema in Mail App. I OPen a pptx file and I don't know how to close it in order to access the other mails. I'm a new user. Thanks a lot!

Tap on the screen - right on the open file - and you should see a blue Done button in the upper left corner. Tap Done to close the attachment.

I get "We can't verify who created this file" for every PPT or PPTX file I open on my local network (Win 7 only, not Win 8)

I've searched around, and perhaps I've missed it, but I have a specific problem that just started today (4/1/2014). I have 3 PCs in a local home network and they all have been sharing things fine so far. PC1 is my main storage computer (Windows
7), another is a laptop (Windows 7) and a third is a laptop (Windows 8.1).
On the Windows 7 laptop, when I open Windows Explorer and navigate my way to a file I want to open (which is stored on PC1) and double click on the file to open it USED to just open using the right program (PowerPoint2007) which I have fully installed on
the Win 7 laptop. Note also that "Microsoft Office (2010)" came pseudo-loaded on the laptop, but I have set the default for all PPT and PPTX files to be opened using PowerPoint2007. I've had a few hiccups in the past where this undesired,
not-fully-loaded version tries to get in the way of me opening files with PowerPoint2007, but right now all files are set to open using PowerPoint2007.
So I'm not going on the internet, I'm not using IE, and this is only happening with PPT and PPTX files and only on my Win 7 laptop. DOC/DOCX and XLS/XLSX files open fine with the 2007 version of the Word and Excel respectively. All files, including
the PPT and PPTX files on PC1 are openable without trouble on the Win8 laptop with PowerPoint2007.
Any idea why this would suddenly start happening?

Sorry, I should have said that I'm having this issue on Win7 Enterprise SP1 and not XP.
I'm having trouble understanding how cacheing is related to how windows resolves this security violation, and why changing the Internet's custom security settings makes the caching problem go away? You are correct in that running a mdb file from
the desktop does not produce the warning; however this is a database housed on a shared drive so that the database is accessable to other users...
unfortunately unblock is not presented as an option in the file properties, and even if it was that seems a bit impractical to do for every single zip file on a share drive which would accumulate more files as multiple users add to it.
Also: I have two computers with the same settings in both the trusted sites and the Launch apps, but one opens fine and the other does not.

Question about reading csv file into internal table

Some one (thanks those nice guys!) in this forum have suggested me to use FM KCD_CSV_FILE_TO_INTERN_CONVERT to read csv file into internal table. However, it can be used to read a local file only.
I would like to ask how can I read a CSV file into internal table from files in application server?
I can't simply use SPLIT as there may be comma in the content. e.g.
"abc","aaa,ab",10,"bbc"
My expected output:
abc
aaa,ab
10
bbb
Thanks again for your help.

How do i edit a flashdrive usb power point presentation with a pptx file

My son has brought home a flashdrive USB from school (where they use Macs) with a power point presentation that needs to be edited but I can only open it up as a read only file. It has the suffix of .pptx. Does anyone have any suggestions to gain access to edit it? Thank you

Your 10-year-old son didn't password protect it, I'm assuming! Check with the folks over at the Mac Office forums - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macpowerpoint?tm=1364275881628 - someone there may have a clue...

How can I read pdf files in linux?

I know the pdf files can be read by Adodb acrobat,but i can not find the software for linux,How can I download the similar tools ?
Thanks for advance.

You can download AcrobatReader fro Linux from adobe.com like the versions of rother OS'es.
however if you want a nicer UI than Acrobat consider using gv with ghostscript. They might already be installed on your system, since they are part of most Linux distributions.
It's worthwhile to upgrade Ghostscript to the most recent version, othervise you will be unable to read pdf files that utilizes the newest fads from Adobe.

When converting a .pptx file of 6MB to .pdf, the file size ballooned to 25MB. The original file was created on a PC. What happened? Why? How to fix? Thx.

Nothing much. Different formats.
How to fix?
Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

Keynotes upload of .pptx file using Windows 7.. .File:X you do not have permission to see its content

I have keynote on an iPad. I have only one Apple Account. After connecting my iPad to my PC and launch of iTunes, I go into Apps > Keynote and hit he Add button, select my MS Presentation file and get the following: File:X you do not have permission to see its content. I currenty have other .pptx and .pdf files in Keynote and not sure why I'm unable to upload anymore. My avail iPad HDD space is 16 GB. File size is 345 MB so I created a test.pptx file which is 10k in size and tried to upload that as well and got the same error. Seeking a fix or workaround as I was not able to find anything out on the web.

Combining multiple small .pptx files into one larger .pptx

So I'm a newbie when it comes to powershell and can't figure this out. Here's the scenario, I have a file named "Multi organization.pptx" in a directory, within this directory I also have sub-directories labeled "Organization 1",
"Organization 2", etc. I have a .csv file with the correct order to place the organizations in the multiorganization.pptx. What I need powershell to do is search each of these sub-directories for their .ppt or .pptx take the entire
presentation and place them in the "Multi organization.pptx" in the order they are listed in the .csv and if there isn't a .pptx in the sub-directory then it should skip that one and move to the next item in the .csv.
A couple notes all the slides are 16:9 ratio and must keep source formatting. The script should also know to search for .ppt as well.

Well below is what I have developed so far. I need assistance pulling ppt's based on the CSV name (so organization 1 folder would have organization 1 ppt in that folder). All these ppts are custom layouts, which could make this rather arduous. Also need assistance with pulling all slides from given presentation and putting them in the Multi-organization.pptx. I figure if I get help developing a solid code here, then it may be easier for the Powerpoint developers forum to assist. #Set office to Open
Add-type -AssemblyName office
$Application = New-Object -ComObject powerpoint.application
$application.visible = [Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState]::msoTrue
$slideType = "Microsoft.office.interop.powerpoint.ppSlideLayout" -as [type]
#Specify path
$path = "Multi-organization.pptx"
#Import CSV and Tell PS to get specified pptx files
#Need CSV Command to pull pptx's based on CSV object
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Include "*.ppt", "*.pptx" -Recurse |
ForEach-Object{
$presentation = $application.Presentations.open($_.fullname)
$customLayout = $presentation.Slides.item(1).customLayout #Need to know how to grab all slides
$slide = $presentation.slides.addSlide(1,$customLayout) #need command to place slides in consecutive order from CSV pull.
$presentation.SaveAs()
$presentation.Close()
"Modifying $_.FullName"
$application.quit()
$application = $null
[gc]::collect()
[gc]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()One thing I did notice was the slide pulled the layout and inserted only one slide but left out the text box and words. Will the words need to be added after the script runs? If so it seems to defeat the purpose of automating the task.

Reading back file for analysis purposes controlling X-axis

Alright, I lose using labview. I use it for a ton of different projects at work. I have been fooling around with this for a while and maybe I am just missing it.
Here goes, in one of my applications I record 4 AI channels at various rates (6, 600, 6000) Hz, I write the data to three different files depending on the record speed. I create a .txt file using the "write to file" wizard. I check the option to use one time column. In the end I get a nice file with 5 columns the first being my time, and the other four being the data on the 4 AI channels.
Now I am trying to read this file back to graph and perform some analysis on it. I have tried this a few different ways, with using charts and graphs. My question is is there anyway to grab that first column and set it as my x-axis. Right now the x-axis really dosn't make much sense. Even if it graphed it as a sample number would be good. Any help would be greatly appreated.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
attached vi will read your data...
When you rename your txt to .lvm you may also use the "Read from measurement file" function. As I'm not using the dynamic datatype (DDT) (so far) I don't know how to separate the single signal from the output - but it is shown in the properties dialog...
"Spreadsheet string to array" is located on the string palette - like any other string function too
Best regards,

Sure.
Which part don't you understand?
1. Reading a text file
2. Parsing the text file contents.
3. Relational databases and SQL.
4. How to create a database.
5. How to connect to a database in Java.
6. How to insert records into the database in Java.
7. How to map Java objects to records in a database.
This is a pretty nice list. Solve complex problems by breaking them into smaller ones.

Upgrade Plug in for CS4 to read raw files

I have PS4 and just bought a Canon 5d Mark III. PS now won't open my raw files. Can I get an upgrade plug in for CS4 to read these files? Thanks

First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in Photoshop CS4. To do that look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
In your case, your 5D Mark III was first supported by Camera Raw version 6.7. And we see that Camera Raw 6.7 was supported by Photoshop CS5, not Photoshop CS4 - so you cannot get direct raw support for your version of Photoshop.
However, you CAN download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your CR2 files) I recommend upgrading to Photoshop CS6 or newer. Adobe made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.
Adobe has a nice "Photographer's Bundle" subscription offer going right now.
