Open document format

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate category to place this question, but is there a way we can de-couple the open document plugin for abiword from the gnome libraries? It seems vastly inappropriate to require gnome for this plugin, considering the efforts to make it a open standard. Which plugins in the abiword-plugins package actually require gnome anyway?

I would suggest you dig around in the abiword source and see if you can compile it without gnome dependancies. You should be able to tell quickly if what you are asking is possible.

  • Why is there no eprint support for open document formats, such as those produced by openoffice

    Why doesn't the eprint service support open document formats? This should be a minimal requirement!

    Sorry, as important as this issue is to all of us who use Firefox, this is a Firefox support forum - not an appropriate place to start a discussion like this.
    I'm locking this thread for two other reasons though. <br />

  • Captivate 3 support for Open Document format?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know about support for Open Document Format in Captivate 3? (OpenOffice presentations)
    Is it possible to save OpenOffice presentation in open document format or does it have to be saved as microsoft power point file?
    What about Captivate 4? Any improvement?

    On the OpenOffice.org site, look under projects, and there's an Open Document Toolkit for Java. I've no idea of its status though.

  • DDE Poke to WinWord 2010 with open Document (Format Docx)

    We have a DDE Client in a big old software and use Winword 2010 as DDE Server. Execute and request commands works as expected. There is only trouble with sending data via poke and that only if the Word document has the new file format (docx or docm).
    Sometimes Word crash, sometimes nothing is happen and sometime not displayable chars appear. It depends on what was sent. If the document format changed to 2003 everything is fine. It's seems Word changes its interpretation of the ASCII text which was send
    via DDE poke.
    Do we have a chance to use DDE with Winword 2010 and the new document format without rewrite the whole software?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Dynamic data exchange (DDE) is an older technology that is not secure. We may use a more secure alternative to DDE in Word 2010, such as object linking and embedding (OLE). Please refer to the link about the tasks
    that Word performs with DDE and the methods used to control each task in Visual Basic.

  • Open Document Format - No library for Java???

  • Why no native open document format?

    I'm currently working on a draft for a native document format
    like ODF (OpenDocument), but beeing more "professional" while
    supporting color management, intermedia representations, product
    definition and job networking with easy file exchange.
    All needs to this document format are based on solving
    current problems with proprietary formats, dump applications and
    mostly conversions.
    As I can see the workflow would be: converting the
    application document format (e.g. InDesign) to PDF and then it will
    be converted to Mars to be processed with XML tools to be converted
    to PDF... this will multiplicate all problems that currently exists
    in document processing!
    So I'm wondering why Adobe released a document format that is
    made to be converted and not a document format that is supported
    natively without conversion?

    But nobody deals with this intention!?
    The intention that Adobe makes public is: There is PDF, there
    will be PDF and will will be PDF and by the way we have there a
    little Mars format where can use your XML tools to modify the
    document easily, but pleeease convert this back to PDF!
    Why Adobe doesn't force the native support? This would be the
    (r)evolution, but not one more destination to convert to and to
    have problem with.

  • ODF (Open Document Format)

    I am looking at the iWork suite but was wondering if it has ODF Support or not. This would be a deal maker/breaker for me in this office. We use ODF extensively here.

    "Given how many programs read and write .doc formats, MS Office format isn't really a lock-in. "
    Please!
    Any non-microsoft implementations of the .doc format are accomplished either through licensing the spec from Microsoft or by reverse-engineering. So the "best" (least buggy) implementations are either made by Microsoft or licensed by them. It's also not entirely clear to me that reverse-engineering the standard is 100% legal.
    There is no readily apparent logic behind Apple's decision not to implement ODF. The specifications are open and the standard is certified. Microsoft's so-called "Open" office XML is still not certified and is owned wholesale by one company. So any OOXML-compatible software can be broken by changes made unilaterally by Microsoft at any time.
    Lastly, aren't there at least two open source projects on Sourceforge that convert OOXML to ODF and back again? It seems that any software developer worth its salt should be able to support ODF quickly and easily; assuming, of course, that they wanted to.

  • Keynote and Oasis Open Document Format

    Hi...
    I'm a user of OpenOffice (versus Microsoft Office). I currently don't see any way for Keynote to open and save OpenOffice Prentations (.odp) files directly (OpenOffice would have to save a presentation in PowerPoint format first). Is this possible? If not, does anybody know if there are any plans to do so?
    Thanks,
    - sb

    There has been talk of this in the user community, but Apple has never made any statements regarding this. However, you can send feedback to Apple so that they'll know about your need.

  • ODF - Open Document Format libraries for Java?

    Are there any existing libraries for creating .odf documents from within Java?

    I've tried with JAXB-2.1 to parse the Relax-NG ODF schemas with no luck. There are errors with <mixed> tags and then there are some definitions that can't be turned into java classes. It's too bad, really, it all should work.
    There is a library in progress at http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org/. It works for simple stuff, but not even tables are implemented yet.

  • Can tracker index open document format files?

    On my system, tracker doesn't seem to index them, and their web page is quite vague on the topic, so does anyone have a definite answer? Also, if tracker can't index ODF files, is there an alternative that can?
    Thanks for your answers!

    Support for the Nikon D40 was added in Camera Raw version 3.7. So you would need Photoshop Elements 4.0 or later to be able to use that.
    To use your version you may need to download the free DNG converter from http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ and convert your D40 files from NEF to DNG.

  • INDD CS6 error: "InDesign cannot open files in the "InDesign CS5.5 Document" format.

    Working in CS6 on Mac OS X 10.7.5: When I double click an INDD file in the Finder, I get the following error from InDesign:
    "The document "doc name" could not be opened. InDesign cannot open files in the "InDesign CS5.5 Document" format." 
    This just started recently and I have not been able to figure out why. I have not updated INDD or OS X. I can't think of anything else that changed, other than maybe a Java update. Have not updated to the latest OS yet. 
    The files I'm trying to open are files I created with CS6 - as recent as a few minutes ago.  I can open them fine using the File>Open command in InDesign so I can open them, but I can't open them by double clicking them in Finder or dragging them to the INDD icon in the dock.
    The info in Finder's "Get Info" window says they are CS6 files set to open in CS6 and I have permissions to read and write. They are not locked.  
    This is not incapacitating, but rather annoying and slows me down since this is one of the most common ways I open files. 
    Any suggestsion would be appreciated.

    Probably won't work because it sounds like an OS problem of some sort, but you can try trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

  • CS5 InDesign cannot open files in the InDesign CS5 document format

    I'll be working in InDesign CS5 with no problems then at some point I'll double click on an InDesign file and a window comes up and says - InDesign cannot open files in the InDesign CS5 document format. Sometimes when this happens I have to completely reboot my whole system before I can get InDesign to function correctly. Is this a flaw with CS5? Did not happen with previous versions. It doesn't always happen but I can't figure out what causes it. Would appreciate anyones help. I'm getting to really HATE InDesign!!

    I have not uninstalled and reinstalled, but I did just switch over to another workstation using Time Machine. The previous system was Leopard. This one is running Snow Leopard.
    I'm not sure how to parse this. When you say "switch over to another workstaiton using Time Machine" do you mean, "started using another machine that happens to be using Time Machine for backups and is also running 10.6 instead of 10.5"?
    Or do you mean, "Used the Time Machine program to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6?" If you mean the second one, well, I can't say I am surprised that things are messed up. And that would make your problem rather different than the other posters, which is good reason for you to have started your own thread (and thus your own solution)....
    I'm a little bit leary of getting in and changing things in Terminal, without understanding what I am changing. Plus this is a workstation at work, so if I screw something up, that is not a good things, and I don't have time to spend a day fixing things back up again, with the way our workload is.
    Well, you can find a lot of marginal documentation about lsregister and Launch Services, but I wonder whether your understood the ramifications of messing with Time Machine (or maybe I have misinterpretted you!). I'd be surprised if you found another way to fix this, other than uninstall/reinstall.
    Good luck.
