Opening a word file from oaf page

Hello all,
we have a word file which we need to open from OAF page. Is it possible to achieve this using personalization? If yes, please give me the steps. If not, we we need to go for customization to achieve this, whichis the approach on that?
Thank You in advance. Your suggestion is very valuable for me.
Regards
KK

Hi there,
Yes you can do this using personalization. Simply go to the page where you want it and add a new item type LINK. The text property is the text the user will see for the link and the URI is the hyperlink to the file. Say for instance you had a word document named test.doc and you want to put it into the OA_MEDIA directory.
The URI would be /OA_MEDIA/test.doc. Non local based files would be of the form http:// etc.
If you set the destination frame to blank (literally enter the word blank), then it will open in a new window.
Hope this helps.

I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles. To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account. To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example). It's a bit clunky, but works.

Automator application: Rtf's converted from pdf's do not open and word files from same rtf's are blank--???

I found directions for converting pdf's to word documents to facilitate editting. The process used Automator by selecting
pdf's to be converted to rtf's. The resulting rtf file could then be saved as a word document. The problem is that the resulting
rtf's do not open and the saved word document opens blank. What's the problem and the solution?

mns579 is correct, but it is even more complex than that. To put it bluntly, the only thing a PDF is guaranteed to do is print. There is no guarantee that any PDF will convert into any format other than an image (for printing). Some PDFs are composed of actual text or vector data and those are nice to work with, but not commonly encountered. In fact, pretty much the only time you are likely to have a PDF in a format that can be easily converted is when you have the document in some other original format from which you made the PDF. And, if you have said original format, why do you need PDF?

How to open a word document from OA page

Hi,
I have a requirement where in the file names are displayed in a table .When the user clicks on the file name the file should open .The docs are basically word docs.
Any idea how to implement this.
I saw a post related to this in which someone suggested to use symlinks in Apache.Not sure how to do that.
Thanks
Anna

Hi Kiran,
host('winword.exe <pass ur resume path>');

When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

Peggy, thanks for the try. I think you are on to something about the multitude of sections in the sample document.
I think the many many sections are a result of the formating to make the word document look just like the legal case book (multiple columns of text, special sections, graphical headnotes summaries etc). The doc opens just fine in Word for windows 2000, XP and 2003. Maybe I can request a NON columnar flowing word doc that will be possible to open with Pages 3.
In the meantime, the other good options for these legal document downloads, PDF and HTML are not good options for processing the files with Pages. I sure hope the interoperability of Pages 3 is enhanced soon. I would rather not buy the Office 2008 for the Mac if I could stick with Apple's products.
By the way, do you know...... is there a business, marketing, or technical reason (maybe all 3)) why Text Editor seems to have greater capabilities than Pages 3 (like HTML and similar functions)?
Thanks, Brian

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Can't open web pdf files from my Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license agreement to use Reader and I never saw that page during installation.

Can't open web pdf files from my newly installed Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license to use agreement to Reader, and I never saw that page during installation. How do I get past this?

You need to accept the EULA on first launch of the Reader DC application.
Go to the Applications folder and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
This will bring up the EULA.
Select the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms
Assuming you selected the "Agree" button, Reader DC should open.
You should now be able to open PDF files in your web browser.

Cant open word files from mac side

hi all
have just installed windows 7 and the office suite and all seems to work fine until i try and open any word files that are located in my mac partition. it suggests that i need to open and repair but this doesnt solve the problem. i can open excel and pdf files however. do i need to change permissions or is this something that is not possible to do.
many thanks for any help
craig

I'm having the same problem also. I can't open any office suite files (word, excel...). I think the problem has to do with the os x partition being read-only. When I copy and paste the office files from the os x partition onto the windows partition and open the document, everything works. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

How to open an MS-Word-File from a Java-Applikation ?

Hi,
i want to open an MS-Word-File from a Java-Applikation.
Something like this:
File myFile = new File("myFile.doc");
myFile.open(); //unfortunately this methode doesn't exist
Thanks for response

In my opinion you have to use the Runtime.exec(String) method. I do not know the program name for msword.
You can open a file in notepad by invoking the method Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad c:/xyz/abc.txt");
Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runTime.exec("programName" + " " + file);
Of course the computer on which the program runs must have the application!
Hope this helps!

On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application? If so how do I perform this activity?

Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

"The File Format is Invalid" whenever I try to open a Word File

Pages 3.0.2 consistently returns the 'format invalid' error when I try to open .doc files. These are mostly of kind Microsoft Word 97-2004. I get the same result whether I try to open the file from within Pages or drag the file to the dock icon (running or not) or even if I change the file properties to open it with pages. Opening a .doc file in TextEdit yields only gibberish, so that avenue is not open either.
This is a new MacBook Air I'm setting up for my wife who wanted something lighter for the road, which required over a Gigabyte of upgrades right out of the box. At least Pages will run, unlike Word for Mac 2008, which after an upgrade aimed to fix an issue where Word quits 'unexpectedly' when one opens or uses the program still fails to start up. This means that I have no chance to re-save files until my wife returns with her old iBook G4 with a functioning copy of Word 2004.
Short of installing OpenOffice* does anyone have any suggestions for 'unlocking the functionality' of Pages?
*Next on my list, though I've used it and find it emulates Word all too well in sluggishness.
Thanks.

Problem in XML Publisher Report submission from OAF Pages

Hi,
I am trying to submit Concurrent Program from OAF Page which is an XML Publisher Report.
The request is Submitting and Completing successfully but when we open to view the out put we are able to view the HTML tags.
We checked the same Concurrent program by submitting from the SRS window After completing if we click on view output the rtf file is getting opened correctly.
I tested with normal rdf report it is working fine with standard Concurrent program used in OAF
So my doubt is
Does the Standard Concurrent program used in OAF supports the rtf reports.
Please suggest if any modifications to be done in the Concurrent program
Krishna

Modified your code a little bit.Use this
    public int submitCPRequest(String shipmentId) {
    System.out.println("into submitCPRequest");
        OAPageContext pageContext;
        OAWebBean webBean;
    try {
OAApplicationModule am =pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)am.getOADBTransaction();
    java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
    ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
    String applnName = new String("XXAPL"); //Application that contains the concurrent program
    System.out.println("ApplName"+ applnName);
    String cpName = new String("XXAPLPOSMPRD"); //Concurrent program name
    System.out.println("Concc Name"+ cpName);
    String cpDesc = new String(" APL PO Shipping Material Pickup Request"); // concurrent Program description
    // Pass the Arguments using vector
    // Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the
    //vector to the concurrent program
    Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
    cpArgs.addElement(shipmentId);
    System.out.println("Args"+ cpArgs);
    // Calling the Concurrent Program
    int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName,cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
    cr.addLayout("XXAPL", "XXAPLPOSMPRT", "ENG", "US" , "RTF");
    System.out.println("Req Id"+ requestId);
    tx.commit();
    return requestId;
        catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
        System.out.println("Into Exception");
        OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
        oe.setApplicationModule(this);
        throw oe;
        catch(Exception exception)
        throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
    }Thanks

Opening MS WORD files in Appleworks

I never bought MS Word during the 30 day trial. Now it looks like I'll be getting a bunch of Word documents sent to me in the near future.
I read somewhere here that Word files can be opened in Appleworks. I've had no success with it so far. Could someone please tell me how to do that?
Or, If I do have to buy MS Word For Mac, is there a cheap way to do it? Like an old version or something other that the $250+ they're asking for the new one?
Imac Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 GHz 512GB RAM 80GB HD with 120 GB XTNL.

You certainly don't need to buy Office. There are several options available.
TextEdit that is included with OS X can open most Word files.
One of the free Office clones - NeoOffice or Open Office for any Office file. Also, AbiWord, but only for Word files.
icWord from Panergy Software - not free but the trial is fully functional. icWord also has the ability to save as AppleWorks. There is also icExcel. These are approximately $20 (US) each or $30 for both.
Pages, part of iWork, can open Word files.
