One keynote file opens another

We use Keynote to display messages in various buildings on plasma TV's. Currently we have no way to display building specific slides in only one building. We would like to be able to have a standard keynote file that would be displayed in all building, and then at the end of that file, would open a building specific keynote file, then revert to the original running in a loop.
Any suggestions on how to do that ? I can't see that Keynote has a way to do any internal file to file scripting. Thank you.

Any suggestions on where to find something like that ? I have never used AppleScript, and I have tried to put an Automator workflow together but that didn't work either.

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

How do I copy an image from one Keynote presentation to another one?

I have a previously saved presentation on Keynote in iCloud. I created it from my desktop at work. Some of the images I used for the presentation I want to use again in another presentation, onlh this time I am working off my laptop and don't have the same access to those images. Is it possible to copy/paste images from one Keynote presentation into another? I can't even seem to click on the image and save it.
Any suggestions?

Clicking and dragging does not work.
Click on the image and Copy and Paste
or
Inspector > Metrics > File Info > click on the icon of the file and drag it to your desktop
You can then drag that file back in wherever you want.

Place one IDML file inside another one.

I want to place one or more IDML files into another single IDML "master" file.
The master file is sort of a template for a site layout. The IDML files I need to embed represent single content boxes with specific layouts. The files for those content boxes are created outside of InDesign with some texts I get from a database.
To retain those layouts I deemed it best to just place them into another document which is no problem with INDD but just with IDML.
I managed to link multiple INDD files into the master file in InDesign itself, but can not figure out how to link IDML files. I also found that it is possible to link INDD files into IDML files, just not IDML into IDML.
I need to be working with IDML as opposed to INDD because I have to be able to manipulate the files in an easy way outside of InDesign.
Is there any way to link IDML files into other IDML files? Or if not, is there a possibility to convert my IDML files to INDD files without having to use a real instance of InDesign?
Relevant Lines of code from the master IDML file taken from the Spread.xml file:
<Link Self="u9f81" AssetURL="$ID/" AssetID="$ID/" LinkResourceURI="file:/path/to/subtemplates/box2.idml" LinkResourceFormat="$ID/InDesign Format Name" StoredState="Normal" LinkClassID="35906" LinkClientID="257" LinkResourceModified="false" LinkObjectModified="false" ShowInUI="true" CanEmbed="true" CanUnembed="true" CanPackage="true" ImportPolicy="NoAutoImport" ExportPolicy="NoAutoExport" LinkImportStamp="file 130505142560000000 1396736" LinkImportModificationTime="2014-07-22T16:50:56" LinkImportTime="2014-07-23T11:42:22" LinkResourceSize="0~155000" />
If I leave this in and try to open the file in InDesign I get the error message that the linked file type is not supported
<Link Self="u9f81" AssetURL="$ID/" AssetID="$ID/" LinkResourceURI="file:/path/to/subtemplates/box1.indd" LinkResourceFormat="$ID/InDesign Format Name" StoredState="Normal" LinkClassID="35906" LinkClientID="257" LinkResourceModified="false" LinkObjectModified="false" ShowInUI="true" CanEmbed="true" CanUnembed="true" CanPackage="true" ImportPolicy="NoAutoImport" ExportPolicy="NoAutoExport" LinkImportStamp="file 130505142560000000 1396736" LinkImportModificationTime="2014-07-22T16:50:56" LinkImportTime="2014-07-23T11:42:22" LinkResourceSize="0~155000" />
If I put this in everything works fine.
Notes: box1.indd and box2.idml are the exact same files, just saved differently by InDesign. The path to both files is a valid file system path and has full read/write access.

Thank you for your reply. I already know that it is possible to edit IDML files, which is what I am already doing.
What I am now looking for is a way to place one IDML file into another one like you are able to do with INDD files.
Which file format should I use insted then? It must be editable outside of InDesign because I need to be able to change texts and stylings within the file.

That possibly means you have to have InDesign Server to integrate in your workflow.
That's the exact thing I am trying to avoid here.

Copy one text file to another text file and delete last line

Hi all wonder if someone can help, i want to be able to copy one text file to another text file and remove the last line of the first text file. So currently i have this method:
Writer output = null;
         File file = new File("playerData.xml");
         try {
               output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));
               output.write("\t" + "<player>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerName>" + playerName + "</playerName>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerScore>" + pointCount + "</playerScore>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerTime>" + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds" + "</playerTime>" + "\n");
               output.write("\t" + "</player>" + "\n");
               output.write("</indianaTuxPlayer>" + "\n");
              output.close();
              System.out.println("Player data saved!");
         catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }However each time the method is run i get the "</indianaTuxPlayer>" line repeated, now when i come to read this in as a java file i get errors becuase its not well formed. So my idea is to copy the original file, remove the last line of that file, so the </indianaTuxPlayer> line and then add this to a new file with the next data saved in it. So i would end up with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<indianaTuxPlayers>
     <player>
          <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
          <playerScore>0</playerScore>
          <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
     </player>
     <player>
          <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
          <playerScore>0</playerScore>
          <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
     </player>
     <player>
          <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
          <playerScore>0</playerScore>
          <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
     </player>
</indianaTuxPlayers>
However after all day searching the internet and trying ways, i have been unable to get anything working, could anyone give me a hand please?

I would go the XML route too, but for fun, open a file as a BufferedWriter and do this:
void copyAllButLastLine(File src, BufferedWriter tgt) throws IOException {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(src));
    try {
        String previous= in.readLine();
        for (String current = null; (current = in.readLine()) != null; previous=current) {
            tgt.write(previous);
            tgt.newLine();
    } finally {
        in.close();
}

Is it possible to import slides from one Keynote presentation into another. If so how do I do it on iPad 2?

You do it sort of like the way you arrange your apps on the iPad and how you drag apps into groups. You do the same technic with your Keynote slides.

Closing one GUI and opening another?

Hi guys,
(I didnt really know which forum to post this in, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong one).
I have created a login screen for a system, LoginScreen.java, which accepts a username and password and checks these on the server for validity. This all works fine.
Once an account is accepted as valid I would like for the login screen to close, and the actual main GUI, Client.java, to open.
Can anyone tell me the code for doing this? (closing one GUI and opening another).
Please ask if you need more information on my code.
Many thanks!

You can make the Client.java as your main program then just call the LoginScreen.java.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Client extends JFrame {
public static void main (String[] args) {
     Login log = new Login();
     log.show();
// Here you can put validation if the user is valid before displaying the main GUI
// If valid user
     Client clt = new Client();
clt.show();
// } else {
// System.exit(0);
public Client() {
     super("Client Java");
     setSize(400, 300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
class Login extends JFrame {
public Login() {
     super("Login Java");
     setSize(200, 300);
}

Why do objects get bigger when I copy and paste from one Keynote document to another?

I have 2 keynote presentation files open. I select some objects on one slide, apple-C to copy, go over to a blank slide in another file, and apple-V to paste. The item(s) get pasted but are much bigger - they take up way more of the new slide than they did for the old one. What am I missing? Why can't I copy it with the same relative size it used to have?

Chances are that small file used to be a PowerPoint file - PowerPoint deals in inches instead of pixels (which blows my mind).
I would first convert the smaller file to a larger resolution - that should keep most of the scaling intact - and then copy and paste. In my opinion you'll probably have to re-polish your presentation once you've changed the resolution as some things will probably be a bit wonky.

Can you import a master from one Muse file to another?

I've got upload space through Comcast, and my homepage and other material are there. (home.comcast.net/~gregfisk/)
But I have another site that I uploaded there through Dreamweaver a year ago. I'd like to update it with Muse. (www.caption-ator.com)
But the thing with Muse is, when it exports a site to HTML, it defualts the home page to 'index.html'. In this case, the caption-ator site info (made with muse) would over-write my main web page. The same goes for any files that share the same file name, like 'site global.css', and 'sitemap.xml'.
So I guess I should take the site info from the caption-ator Muse file, and rebuild it in my personal web page. So there will (theoretically) be no conflicts in the file names, and can all be uploaded safely.
Rather than rebuild the whole Caption-ator muse built site in the Muse file for my personal web page - is there any way to take a Master page from one Muse file, and import it to another? That would be a HUGE time saver. My first instinct would be to take the Muse tab for my personal web page, and the Muse tab for the Caption-ator web page, then drag and drop the Master from the Caption-ator page to the personal web page. But Muse doesn't seem to allow for tabs to be kept separate like that.
Any advice is apprecaited.

If you still have the .muse file for the template you want you can open it up in Muse 'Select All' --> Copy.
Open your destination blank template and paste it. You can have bothe muse files up in Muse at the same time.

Hyperlink a word in one pdf to open another pdf on a mac?

Hi, I have been trying to find a program or app on my mac that will enable me to click on a word in one pdf file from my documents which would then open another pdf file in my documents. I can't seem to be able to do it on preview via the hyperlink or adobe reader, can anyone help? I assume this would be easy to do on Acrobat X Pro? Any alternative (cheaper/free!) options would be great.
Thank you!

With Adobe Acrobat you can add links.

You can insert hyper-links in PDFs in Preview by clicking on Tools > Annotate > Add Link. The key is to point the link at the local file. The link should start with "file://" followed by the complete path to the file you want to open (e.g.: /Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf). In other words, the complete link will be: "file:///Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf".
