On demand desktop publisher

when setting up a new task, and I click the destination path, an error message appears " the underlying connection was closed:  Unable to connect to the remote server"  when I click the path icon "..." 
does anyone know what I am doing wrong, I can log on elsewhere without a problem
thanks

Hi Tim,
The desktop publisher is only able to upload documents to the org side of an account however personal users do not have access to an org side - they only have a mystuff side.
However, that does not explain the error you are seeing.  It really seems that for whatever reason, the desktop publisher on your machine can not get out to the internet to talk to the BIOD servers.
Cheers
Steve

  • Desktop Publisher Scheduled Report Limits

    Post Author: bicknell
    CA Forum: crystalreports.com
    Using the crystalreports.com desktop publisher, a customer scheduled the upload of 80+ reports to crystalreports.com on a dailybasis.  Some of the jobs were failing and others seemed like they were being run continuously.    There are two significant points to know about the desktop publisher:When the desktop publisher uploads a file to crystalreports.com, the program needs to logon to crystalreports.com using your crystalreports.com user account.  The site only allows 10 concurrent logons for the same account at any one time.  This effectively limits you to scheduling 10 documents at any one time.If you are refreshing these reports before they are uploaded, the number of concurrent refreshes will be limited by the resources of your computer.  It is a fairly expensive process in terms of memory and CPU time, especially if you have a large number of records in each report.  We've had another customer report that they could only actually refresh about 10 reports at a time before they started getting failures. This could be a combination of report size/complexity and the processing power of your computer. Note: The ODC and SFDC connector are designed to handle much bigger tasks than the desktop publisher. The desktop publisher is designed for lightweight loads not exceeding 10 connections.

    Hi JD,
    I'm not sure about the "unable to connect to the file" error you are seeing.  Can you post the exact wording of the error and where you are seeing it?  If you can post a screen shot of the error, that would be great.  If you change the file name of the rpt on your hard drive, the task won't be able to find it the next time it runs.  Could that be the problem?
    You should be able to create a task in the desktop publisher, point it to a report and schedule it - at that time, it will prompt you for the db logon and parameter values.  Once you have supplied that info, the task will run according to whatever recurrence pattern you have set - daily, weekly, whatever.  Each time the task runs, it will try to refresh the rpt file with the db logon and parameter values you specified and upload the rpt file to crystalreports.com. 
    You should always be able to open the rpt file in Crystal Reports, however I have seen a problem where the rpt file gets corrupted if you run out of disk space when the report is being saved after the refresh.  The error we got from this though was that the rpt file had been corrupted.  I don't think it complained about not being an rpt file.
    Yes, you should be able to use a salesforce.com db connection and you should be able to configure the desktop publisher task to run every 30 minutes.
    Yes, if you do edit the rpt file  you should see the changes the next time the task runs.  We have found problems where you will get an error on uploading to cr.com using the overwrite option if the rpt file has been changed "too much".  Most often this only applies to the db connection changing too much.  If you are just editing the report layout, that should be fine.

  • I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems.  This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box.  Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

    I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am running into some real problems.  How do you put a border around a text box?  Can you edit the border - color, thickness, etc.?  Help!

    I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

  • Desktop Publishing Software Recommendations Needed

    I am writing a book. It's about 300 pages and I'm using Pages. It looks pretty nice in pages, but Pages is not desktop publishing software. It can be awkward when trying to change the objects or backgrounds in numerous sections (not as awkward as Word though). It also doesn't create an index.
    I can't afford $500 to $1000 for one of the name brands.
    Please recommend some DTP software that might be useful in creating a book that I've written in Pages. I'm looking for something that might make my workflow more efficient.
    Thank you.

    These days it would also help to know the method of publication you plan to target — hardcopy books, digital media
    Apple still saves Adobe PDF 1.3. With this version of the document description model, Apple is limited to the standard rendering specification ISO 15930 PDF/X-3 which deals with management of colour information, but not with management of character information (semantic information and structure information). ISO 19005-1:2005 PDF/A is a standard rendering specification based on PDF 1.4 as well for management of colour information as for management of character information (structure information and semantic information).
    In other words, the support for management of colour information is there but is truly tough to use and support for management of character information is not there at all.
    It is incorrect that QuarkXPress is usable for computerised full character cataloguing with PDF. Quark management mailed the technical press (me and a chief editor) that support for searchable PDF was not intended in version 7.
    Adobe had no software whatsoever that supported structure information and semantic information in 2002; that has come trickle by trickle and if e.g. in Adobe InDesign CS (ID39 a searchable PDF is placed in an InDesign page and re-exported, the nested PDF is not searchable.

  • Ondemand desktop publisher error

    Hello Experts;
    I am trying to add a new dataset to desktop publisher. But when i try to chosse destination path im taking invalid username or password error:
    server             : https://bi.ondemand.com
    email address : my ondemand.com login address
    password       : my ondemand.com login pass
    I am using free version, is it the problem?
    Thanks
    Bilal

    Yes the desktop publisher works with BI OnDemand Essential and Advanced Editions as it looks for folders located under "My Organization". With the Personal Edition you do not have a "My Organization" folder but rather just the "My Stuff" and "Shared with Me" areas.
    If you are interested in getting an evaluation of BI OnDemand Essential Edition you can contact us using this [link|http://www.ondemand.com/contact/].

  • Desktop Publishing software

    I'm looking for a desktop publishing program to create a booklet for a club function. It will be a 5x8 size (folded pages) with text, pictures and graphics. There would be 4 pages on each 8.5x11 sheet. I used Pagemaker 10 years ago and it would automatically create the proper sequence when I chose "make booklet" The previous booklets were done using Printmaster which doesn't come for a Mac. It costs $20 so I'd like something under $50. Any suggestions?

    Your best chance is to search at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. There are several products available, but I don't know that you'll find one for $50.00. If you have Apple's iWork you could use Pages. If you have MS Office you can use Word. There are open source alternatives to Office: NeoOffice and Open Office (neooffice.org and openoffice.org.) If you want something on the order of PageMaker and InDesign, there's the open source Scribus (scribus.org.)

  • Desktop Publishing

    Hello all,
    Years ago I used to use PageSetter on the Amiga and Serif PagePlus on the PC. I really enjoyed Desktop Publishing and although it was a hobby I did produce a few documents that were used commercially such as business stationery, documents and an ad to go in the Daily Telegraph. The Degree that I am taking is centered around computers and software but does not include DTP so I am seeking out a local course.
    My questions are, what is the industry standard DTP program for the Mac, I've a feeling it is QuarkXpress but I am unsure because there seems to be a flood of Adobe and other manufacturers software products out there. If it is QuarkXpress or indeed another package, what is the highest version that will run on an OS9 Mac? I know OS9 is old but with 1GHz CPU and 1.5GB RAM I should be OK power wise and it means that an older version of software can be had from E-Bay for little money. I'm not afraid of buying 700 page books to learn how to use packages, even if they are for personal learning, one day I might put them to professional use.
    Any help with this topic would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    I just got my Mac (converted from PC). I've done a lot of DTP at work on a PC, but a lot of the vendors I work with use Macs. We all use Quark and have used it for years. Good program, a little learning curve. My vendors have been buzzing about Adobe InDesign and love it. I haven't used it yet but I own it and will load it and play with it soon.
    If you're not really serious about DTP and just want to do a few projects -- have you tried Pages in Apple's iWork? I opened it for the first time Wed night and within 2 hours created a really nice looking newsletter for a recreational club I belong to. If you use the templates in Pages, it's pretty easy. And iWork only costs $79 as opposed to the high cost of the others.
    Sorry but I can't answer the OS questions you have, since I'm new to Mac.

  • Desktop Publishing---Boo Hoo!

    I am most assuredly an Apple convert. I even got rid of all the Windows in my house. No natural light now, but my iPad makes a great flashlight. There is one thing I miss terribly from my PC days, and that is Microsoft Publisher.  I used be able to do some really cool things with it that I can't do now.  I went to a Pages workshop at the Apple Store, hoping that perhaps I could do what I used to do in Publisher.  No Luck! At the time, I was a PE teacher. When I'd send a letter home, for example, about after school basketball, I would get a full page basketball graphic and create a picture box in grayscale and then send it to the back.  I would put a full page size text box on top of it, type it, and then hit Control T. That would make the text sheet transparent, and then the basketball graphic would show through and look awesome.  Is there any desktop publisher that would allow me to do things like this!!?

    There are quite a few DTP applications on the market. I did a quick Google search and found this Wikipedia article. While it list MS Windows apps there are also OS X apps. Take a look then you can begin looking for one that best suits your needs.

    Best of luck.

  • Desktop Publishing with Integrated BW Data

    Our client wants to publish large financial statement type documents with BW data/graphs integrated into the document and updated with changes automatically. We are looking for a tool that will allow desktop publishing of documents ~100 pages in length with the ability to integrate BW data. We looked at Crystal 10, but it does not have many document publishing features they would like. We investigated a tool called Pattern Stream that looks great for this purpose, but cannot read from OLAP. Any ideas as to other tools or ways to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Blake,
    I would like to understand the limitations that you think are there for Crystal v 10.
    Always interested in feedback for improvement.

  • Question:  Is Creative Suites a good desktop publishing product?

    Is Creative Suites a good desktop publishing product for creating high quality brochures, sales letters and marketing materials right from my laptop?   Thanks  

    2 computers Max. You would need to uninstall to use in a different computer. (say a 3rd etc)
    Unless you have a network which I would think that you should be able to install it on a local server as a shared drive and everyone MAY be able to access it. However I am not sure if the Software MUST be installed on a C drive to use.
    I have video games installed on an external drive and can play them without having them installed on the c drive. Yet, some features may not work.
    Besides I just bought the Master suite. I am coming from Avid and must state that the learning curve is huge and it does not come with a manual. Might as well be open source with no manuel. IMO.  Or give their software away and 'clean up' on tutorials. Not the select ones that cover what a person wants to give on.
    IE: If you want to add an effect like Zoom in a project nowhere to look it up. You must slueth through poorly scripted videos with missing steps. Adobe Vs Avid or FCP may boil down to user interface, or instruction manuals you don't have to buy for 80.00 bucks a book.

  • Best desktop publisher for MBP coming from Microsoft publisher

    Hey gang,
    My wife has a small business.  She now has two MPB.  She runs one with Parallels and windows XP because she is in love with Microsoft publisher for making newsletters and similar.  I am going to buy her a new MBP and want to go to Yosemite and get her off Windows.  We have Pages, Numbers, Excel, Powerpoint, keynote etc.  What software would you recommend that she can use and make the easy transition of Publisher to whatever?  Can .pub files be opened in other applications?  Any advice would be great.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Here's a link to an article describing some of the options for converting Publisher files:
    http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/publisher/f/share_pubfiles.htm
    If she is actually making do with Publisher, Pages might be sufficient, but there are plenty of options: Swift Publisher, Scribus, Printworks, eventually Affinity Publisher (not yet available for the Mac OS but in the works).
