Opening a file (viewed as icons) from within application icons too large!

Help! I'm not a newbie LOL.. I don't know when this error happened but apparently I cant just do a command J to get the view options to pop up while in an application. Here's my problem. I can view files as icons prefectly from within finder. I setup the default a long time ago and it is formatted fine. Now when I open a file from any application, for instnace firefox or NeoOffice.. .. all the icons are like 120x120 in size.. annoying. I attempted to use Alt-J to pop up view options, no go.. it appears you can't bring up view options while opening a file as an app, you can only alter view type.. icons/list/etc. Is there a command I can issue in applesrcipt or whatever to popup view options so I can fix this ?
I THINK I know how I foobarred it. I was playing around with preview and I jacked up the icon size so I can see larger images of the home movies I created.
that was when I was running 10.4.x
I've been looking through the knowledge bases, I didn't see anything.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanls.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

PDF link of type "open a file" won't work from within web-browser

Hi!
I have a pdf-document in which I have created a link of the type "Open a file" ( in this case it is a word document, but the type of file doesn't matter). When I click this link directly in Acrobat (Acrobat 9 Standard) it works just as excpected, that is, the document opens in word, after I've confirmed to Acrobat that it's ok to open.
Opening the pdf itself from within a web-browser (IE8) is no problem. The document is opened by the Acrobat plug-in, inside the web-browser, as expected. The "hot-spot" to the link is also there, but when I click on the link, Acrobat (I think it's Acrobat and not the web-browser) asks me if it's ok to "Connect to file://///C:/testdoc.doc". And when I confirm this nothing happens (of course, since there are way too many slashes added after the "File:" beginning of the string.
When I doublecheck the link in Acrobat Standard with the link tool, it look perfectly allright (under "Actions" I find the heading "Open a file" and under that the text "File: C\testdoc.doc").
Anyone know where the problem lies?
Thanks for any help!

I found mention online that linking to a zipped pdf file will cause the browser to download the PDF to the local user's PC where they can complete and submit the form (the mailto: command button works when the PDF is opened locally rather than within a browser window). If there is a more "elegant" solution, I would be grateful for your advice.

Read/Open a file in SAP DMS from an external system

Hello Sap Gurus,
I want to read/open a file in SAP DMS from an external system . External system is basically a non-sap system.
Can this be achieved through an RFC..
Does anyone know of any BAPI's/FM's that can be called from an external system (non-sap system) through RFC which will open a document which is stored in SAP DMS.
Regards,
Madan Shetty.

Hi Madan,
If you want to view documents from an external system, there are many ways of achieving this.
It depends on the solution that you are approaching.
Few methods that I have come across are, OData services, Custom RFC Function Modules, to retrieve document attachments.
FTP is also a possible solution.
Please let us know your exact requirement.

Possibility to execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP?

Good day.
Presently, a company uses Acrobat Pro to manually combine files such as *.pdf, *.jpg, *.doc, which have been downloaded from SAP's Document Management System, into one pdf file. I would like to know if it is possible to automatically execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP (ECC 6.0) application system. I'm wondering if this could be achieved from a program via OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) or RFC (remote function call).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and inputs.

Yes, you can combine PDF files via IAC/COM methods.

How to call up an executable file (eg. MSPaint) from within my java program

How to call up an executable file (eg. MSPaint) from within my java program

Ummm... why would you want to get MSPaint anyway? Even in the absense of real software, Java's own graphics tools are way more sophisticated - with a little time and effort, you could write a simple paint package that beat MSPaint hands down.

Invocation report (Discoverer Viewer) with parameters from an application

Hi everyone,
I'm proving report in Discoverer Viewer invoking them from an application, which sends parameters to him.
I cannot obtain, that they directly execute when doing click in the URL of execution with its parameters, but that opens the screen where it requests to enter the parameters, without assigning those that they are arriving to him in the URL.
I verified if the problem were in the name of the parameters and apparently it takes the values from such by the order in which they arrive.
Also I verified that the values of parameters are arriving correctly from the application.
Somebody can help me with this?
Thank you very much
Ana

Hi,
I could resolve the problem.
The creation parameters in discoverer reports is case sensitive with the parameters that arrive from an application.
Anyway, thank you
Ana

Opening files through mini bridge, from within photoshop.

When opening files/images from within photoshop use adobe mini bridge, the files open slowly with a long delay?
Can't figure out why, but when files are open directly from photoshop it is lightning fast.
Running on a iMac OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2

Okay.. Yeah, that's why I'm running Windows 7 still
This may have to do with some of the bugs Apple introduced into Yosemite. They are working on a fix. Can't really think of much else, other than make sure everything is up to date. Maybe someone with more knowledge of Mini Bridge will find this post.

How do I open PDF files on a website from my MacBook Air?

I get only a blank page when I click on a pdf file on a website. (I am able to open in Safari with a right click.)
I downloaded the PDF Viewer, but it didn't help.
I went to TOOLS to disable blocking extensions, but none were listed.

See:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox
Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document.

Is it possible to link to specific files on a server from within a pdf?

Hi all,
Is it possible to create hyperlinks to a specific file on a Windows server from within a pdf?
Let me explain further, I am working on a Mac trying to create hyperlinks from within InDesign to specific files on a Windows server. I am exporting the file to pdf, along with the hyperlinks, which look correct when I click on them from within Acrobat.
On Windows, the links will read as \\servername\directoryname\filename so this is exactly how I enter it as the hyperlink. When I view the hyperlink information in the resulting pdf from within Acrobat, it still looks correct as \\servername\directoryname\filename but when I try to click on it from the Windows side OR the Mac side, the link doesn't work and gets changed....the slashes revert to the opposite direction and the whole link gets messed up. I am trying to figure out if the cause is InDesign, Acrobat or whether this can even be done? Of corse, I never have issues with normal URLS.
What we are trying to do is set up an internal catalogue for the company of all our materials. (Everyone works on Windows)
Should I try to create the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat... do you think that will make any difference?
Thanks in advance for your help:)
Very much appreciated!
Christine

Thank you for your help...very much appreciated!
Basically, what we needed were for the links to be static and not relative, and they were mainly for Windows users. What finally worked was creating the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat. We plan to email the final pdf to several employees around the word (we are an international company) with all the links intact. Once they were logged into our network (vpn'd in) the links would still be valid no matter where the document was located. The trick is to change the start of the link to a specific IP address (the server address) when you are setting it up in Acrobat. I hope this makes sense and is helpful for everyone else out there:)
(P.S. This works for Windows users only though and cannot be done via the Mac version of Acrobat. I can set things up within the Mac version of Acrobat so that the links will work as long as the document resides in the same location on the server... the advantage to doing it THIS way is that it will work for BOTH Mac and Windows users.)
Thanks again,
Christine

Open a file in UNC path from jsp page

Hi,
it might be simple but I don't know how i can achieve this,
I have a UNC path to a remote computer something like this,
\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\ResourceFileName
i can open this file from windows by typing the above in Windowes explorer or something like this in browser file://ComputerName/SharedFolder/myfile.txt
I want a simple jsp page that will have a hyperlink or a button which when clicked should prompt me with a dialog to open/save/cancel the file. it should not open the text fine inside the browser itself. when i click open it should open the file in appropriate viewer(i think this is judged by the mimetypes set on my machine).
Thanks in Advance.

You may find this FileServlet example useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].
That said, the file needs to be located on the server machine, not on the client machine. If you want to open files from the client machine, rather write a client side application which you can integrate in your webpage, e.g. a signed applet or web start application (jnlp).

Applescript to open various files and add info from filename to the file

Hi guys,
first time using this forum...
and first time trying to do a script for apple...
I figured out how to do simple things... like open files and stuff to text files... but don't know where to begin:
I have a directory datalogs...
within the directory i have multiple text files that have the following format:
dataXXYYY_Waf2_7_19_11.csv
dataXXYYY_Waf3_7_19_13.csv
dataXXYYY_Waf25_7_19_16.csv
typically 25 files, but sometimes less
I would like to be able to take each file within the datalogs folder ...
Scan the file name and look for the number afer Waf
The number can be anywhere from (single digit) 1 to 25
I would like to take that value after Waf and then append a line in the txt file
the line I would have to add will be 5 rows down and it shoulld say:
wafer,1
the 1 above is the value that was in the file name....
i.e.
for the file
dataXXYYY_Waf25_7_19_16.csv
before append the file contains random data ... i.e.
dummyline1
dummyline2
dummyline3
dummyline4
dummyline5
dummyline6
Then after the script...
the file will be saved with same name:
dataXXYYY_Waf25_7_19_16.csv
and the data should look like:
dummyline1
dummyline2
dummyline3
dummyline4
wafer,25
dummyline5
dummyline6
any help will be appreciated
-thanks

Copy your source folder - named 'datalogs' to your home directory and run this script by copying into a new AppleScript Editor document and pressing Run.
I think I've followed your specification, and there will be other ways to do this, but ask if you have questions. (I have put comments in the code which should explain some of it!)
There is no error checking, but I have made copies of the original files in the source directory. (You can comment out the line "duplicate theFile" by prefixing with "--" when you are sure it's working.
As always, ensure your data is backed-up before proceeding.
--starts here
--sets path to datalogs folder
set theDirectory to (path to home folder as text) & "datalogs"

--iterates through the files
          repeat with theFile in fileList

          end repeat
--iterates thru the files
          repeat with theFile in fileNames
--gets offset of the string "Waf"
                    set WafOffset to offset of "Waf" in (fileName of theFile)
--trims the name so that it now starts with the character after "Waf"
                    set fileName to text (WafOffset + 3) thru end of fileName of theFile
