Open a file from a Projector?

Hi folks,
I'm probably just missing something, but here's my problem. I
have a flash projector file for a client. Within the file are two
buttons. One I want to point to a word document, and one I want to
point to a pdf file. I don't want either of these to appear in a
browser window though - just to launch in word / acrobat. I'm sure
I've done this before. Any ideas?

You don't have any other options because flash can't open any
files
except executable type. getURL is the only way if using flash
itself.
You could go with BAT files but it will produce ugly black
dos window
while processing the call. If you need it neat and easy than
only with
3rd party tools.
For many years I have been using Flash Jester tool call
JStart. Works like charm
all the way, no extra pop up DOS windows :)
http://flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jstart
JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use
parameters to make the
program open files, perform special actions and just about
anything you can use
parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with
their default associated
program.
Another solution is provided by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty old
but it should still
work. Perhaps give it a try.

Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything
from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting
particle file.

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

The problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is blackcolor

the problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is all black in color and i cant see what i'm picking how do i change that so i can see what i'm picking

Is that Photoshop? Depending on the version you could try to change the Color Theme (Edit | Preferences | General | Appearance).
If that does not help, you may have a better chance to get a useful answer if you ask in the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements forum.

All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

This could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

Excel 2008 wont open excel files from at WHS network share.

hi all
i have a strange problem here, i own a mac mini the 2.53ghz model bought a month ago, and a macbook (the white model) also bought a month ago, both running all the latest software updates, and office 2008 for mac, with all the latest updates
on the mac mini, i can´t open any excel documents that are stored on a shared folder on my windows home server, it just says
excel cannot open this file the file might have been damaged or modified from its original format
but when i try to open the same document on the macbook, it opens just fine?
i have tried to remove office 2008 and reinstall it on the mac mini, but that didnt help, and the strange thing is if i move the excel files, from my windows home server, to another windows home server, it opens just fine on the mac mini
i then suspected that it was the WHS that was ****** up, and deleted the account on the WHS where the folders were stored, rebooted the whs, and added the account again, but with the same result, the mac mini wont open the excel files, it will open word files, from the same folder.
and the macbook will still open both excel and word files, from the same folder?
i´m really confused now, and cant seem to pinpoint the error, and hope that someone can give me some pointers of where to look?
sincerely

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

Good Afternoon
I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
I look forward to any replies.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Ok...
Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
What could cause this do you think?
By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
Very bizarre!

Open documents/files from Application Server in forms 6i

Hello All,
Our requirement is to open files that are in Application server( We do not want to upload them into database).
Is there a way to open this files from forms 6i.
I am wondering how the "View Output" or View log button works on the concurrent program submission form. Its the doing the same thing i.e pulling the file from Application server and showing up.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to get this done.
Thanks
Sunil

I assume you are using Forms 6i in web mode here. Then it is just a URL to the file if you properly map to a directory where you store the files:
web.show_document('http://...../myfile.pdf');
But it also looks like you are using Oracle Apps, so might want to ask it in the e-Business Suite.

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.
